From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Canada (pronounced /ˈkænədə/) 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 and shares the world's longest common border with the United States to the south and northwest. The land occupied by Canada was inhabited for millennia by various groups of Aboriginal people. 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 comprising ten provinces and three territories, Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. It is a bilingual and multicultural country, with both English and French as official languages both at the federal level and in the province of New Brunswick. 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 major economies, NATO, OECD, WTO, Commonwealth of Nations, Francophonie, OAS, APEC, and United Nations. From Wikipedia under the

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.

Q. Does it send it to the nearest canada post office (generally close) or it ships to one specific place very far away? Thanks. Asked by Cosmicsolutions - Tue Jun 16 18:33:24 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. They leave you a note saying that they came and you weren't home. You can call them and try to re-arrange delivery. I managed to get them to come to my work instead. They may agree to leave it behind if you leave them a signed note somewhere saying it's ok. Otherwise you may have to pick it up in their warehouse which is not necessarily far away but probabaly in an industrial neighbourhood on the outskirts of town and not having a very good bus route.
