Canada ( / ˈ k æ n ə d ə /) is a country occupying most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area. Canada's common border with the United States to the south and northwest is the longest in the world.

The land occupied by Canada was inhabited for millennia by various groups of Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions explored, and later settled, along the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom. This widening autonomy was highlighted by the Statute of Westminster of 1931 and culminated in the Canada Act of 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament.

A federation consisting of ten provinces and three territories, Canada is governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. It is a bilingual nation with both English and French as official languages at the federal level. One of the world's highly developed countries, Canada has a diversified economy that is reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade—particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship. It is a member of the G8, G-20, NATO, OECD, WTO, Commonwealth, Francophonie, OAS, APEC, and UN.

Q. i am planning to come to canada to study for an Bachelors degree in Nutrition. i want the program to be accredited by Dietitians Canada. Also let me know what are some good places in canada to work as a registered dietitian?
Asked by bluecomp2002 - Wed Oct 14 10:19:15 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'd check out McGill or Concordia. They are both in Montreal, QC, which is a primarily french speaking but the universities themselves are english speaking. You can get the best of both worlds here and embrace both english speaking and french canadian culture and language in the beautiful city of Montreal.

What are the requirements for emigrating to Canada from the UK as a social worker?
Q. I am in my final year of study of a postgraduate social work degree, and wish to emigrate to Canada when I qualify. Does anyone know how much work experience would be needed, and whether British social work qualifications are accepted in Canada? Has anyone did this before, and you did you find it? Is it tough to find a job in Canada? Thanks!
Asked by Johnny Planet - Tue Jun 15 18:56:05 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Here's the assessment process, below. You need at least one year, preferably two of experience before you can apply and the application takes about two years to complete if you are accepted. There aren't a lot of job vacancies at the moment but things might improve in four years.

How many immigrants immigrate to canada yearly? Is there any organization or law to protect them?
Q. Per year, how many immigrants immigrate to canada? Is there any sort of law or canadian organization which can provide them safety or some kind of protection? Or is there even a United Nations organization which Canada has entered to support fair and ethical labor in multinational corporations??
Asked by *Brisa* - Thu Jan 31 18:40:20 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No need to question Canadian government for immigrant protection and rights; Canada has an official multi-cultural policy; they even have a crime of hatred, right? No, the racism you see in its neighbour, you don't normally see it there. Canada is very good to legal immigrants.

  • Canadians are the people who learned to live without the bold accents of the natural ego-trippers of other lands.
  • I am so excited about Canadians ruling the world.
