Canada is a parliamentary democracy, with a federation now comprising ten provinces and three territories, 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 at the federal level. Technologically advanced and industrialized, Canada maintains a diversified economy that is heavily reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade—particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship.

Today, Canada is home to Immigrants from every part of the world. Every year Canada welcomes thousands of new immigrants. Canada’s reputation for democracy within the international community attracts many people to choose Canada as their new home.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees freedom of religion and freedom of thought. The Charter safeguards the right to move freely in Canada and work anywhere in the country and it codifies equality before the law and equality between women and men.

Immigration to Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Immigration to Canada is the process by which people migrate to Canada and become nationals of the country. As Canada is a relatively new country, a formal immigration process has not been around for very long. Nevertheless, people have been migrating to the geographic region of Canada for thousands of years, patterns varying. After 1947 domestic immigration law went through many major changes, most notably with the Immigration Act, 1976, and the current Immigration and Refugee Protection Act from 2002.

In Canada there are three categories of immigrants: family class (closely related persons), independent immigrants (admitted on the basis of skill, capital and labour-market requirements) and refugees.

Currently Canada is known as a country with a broad immigration policy which is reflected in Canada's ethnic diversity.
