To the south and west: An international boundary with the United States, forming the longest shared border in the world, 8,893 km (5,526 mi);^[2] (Informally referred as the 49th parallel north which makes up the boundary at parts.^[3]
To the east: A maritime boundary with the Kingdom of Denmark, at the self-governing country of Greenland; and a smaller land-based border on divided Hans Island.
To the southeast: A short maritime border with France, at the overseas islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
To the north: The far northern situated areas of the Queen Elizabeth Islands extend well into the Arctic^[4] and form portions of the basis of historical Canadian sovereignty claims into the Arctic region.^[5] More recent Canadian claims (as of 2022) reportedly extend to a portion of the Russian Federation.^[6]
