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 is the number of days a Canada PR lives in Canada counted? Q. A Canada PR (permanent resident) is required to accumulate at least 2 years (out of every 5 years) of living in Canada in order to maintain the PR status. However I am wondering how they actually count the number of days a PR lived in Canada. When a person drives from the United States to Canada, neither US border officers nor Canada border officers record anything. When a person drives from Canada to the US, nothing is recorded either. If the person keeps traveling between the US and Canada without going to a 3rd country (so nothing is stamped on the passport), how does Canada immigration officers know how many days the person actually lives in Canada? Asked by Stan - Sun Jan 4 10:54:29 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. Simply put, you are incorrect. Your license at minimum is recorded each time you leave and enter the country by car. When presenting ID (passport etc) at the border, it is also recorded. Canada and the US share this information, so the US knows when you return to Canada, and Canada knows when you leave. In the past, there might have been opportunity to leave or enter without a permanent record, but today, each passage is recorded.

I just read a question from a woman who says her employer has told her she either has to come back now (she is only 7 months in), or risk being laid off for a year. Is this allowed? I've tried the Government of Canada website, but all I can find is benefit payments you're entitled to. Asked by Charm off Vacation :-( - Wed Mar 24 15:46:01 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. They can't do that. Hopefully they weren't stupid enough to put that into writing. I suggest your friend contact the ministry of Labour, they will be able to further outline her rights.

Hamilton nowhere was it more apparent than at St. Julie Billiart Parish Saturday, June 19, how much the Catholic church has placed itself in the center of the immigration debate. Inside the church s bingo hall, hundreds of Mexicans lined up for passports or Mexican IDs at the Mobile Mexican Consulate s Office. In front of the cathedral on Dayton Street, dozens of activists marched along the street with picket signs, some reading Immigrants welcome. Illegals go home. The Rev. Manuel Viera said the church for years has agreed to host the consular office as a way to serve the community here, very much in line with the teaching of the Catholic church.
