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.

A. www.cic.gc.ca There is no cheap and easy way to immigrate to Canada. There is currently a backlog of around 900,000 and Canada only admits 250,000 per year. Legislation was passed recently to speed up the process, but it is likely that it will speed it up by raising the bar for entry. If you go to the website you will see that they suggest that you don't bother applying if you don't have the required points.

What does canada customs ask you to prove?
Q. I am going to canada the day after tomarrow, I want to know if I have to prove anything other than my citizenship of the U.S. ? Do I have to prove that I have sufficient funds, or that I'm coming back to the U.S because I don't have a round trip ticket, only a one way. I have relatives in Seatle, so I was probably going to get picked up by them after about 3 4 months in canada. I called this number it should be canada customs and she said that I won't need to prove sufficent funds or that I'm coming back as long as I'm a U.S. Citizen.

A. If you tell them you are staying for a few months you will have to state the reason. Traveling then driving home should not be an issue. If it is for work or school make sure you have the necessary paperwork if any additional approvals may be necessary., such as a work or educational visa.
