From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. 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. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How are the work ethics in Canada comparable to those in the United States? Q. I'm considering relocating to Canada (British Columbia) and am wondering about what the work ethics are like in Canada, in general. Obviously, businesses in the United States overwork their employees resulting in less sleep, more health problems, etc. Is it the same in Canada or better?

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.

Q. We obtained recently our Canadian citizenship through the resident permanent procedure, however our first child, who was born with spina bifida and is handicapped, remained in our country of origin. We have never declared him in front of the Canada immigration, since he has always lived in a government medical centre for children with special needs. Now, after communicating with several lawyers, we realized that we violated the Canada immigration law. We would greatly appreciate any advise of how we could possibly bring him to Canada.
