Words that reference to unclear or general persons, places, or objects are known as common nouns. In this case, although the word Canada refers to a specific location, it is not a common noun like the word nation, which represents a generic area. Common nouns are capitalized only when they start sentences or appear in product names or titles, such as Iron Man or the Grand Canyon.
