I
came to Canada in 2004 and started this site so I could learn more
about Canada and the Canadians. There is now a ton of information
available for you to read and I believe it's a great place for
prospective immigrants to learn about Canada and for people
interested in visiting Canada as we also have lots of videos for you
to enjoy. Of course anyone interested in Canadian history will also
enjoy this site and we invite anyone with information to share it with us.

which will introduce you to the country be you a visitor or looking

Canada.ca helps you
find Government of Canada information and services on any device,
including computers, tablets and smart phones.
There are many government departments and agencies, and it is
sometimes difficult to know who does what. That is why Canada.ca is
organized by topic and task.
The sections available on
ElectricCanadian.com are...

of all the Provinces and also includes histories of the ethnic

This is a column from a Canadian with
good knowledge of politics and the Canadian way of life who will be
anonymous but will from time to time post commentary on what is
happening in Canada. The First Nations The Native Indians of Canada are profiled in this section mainly
from antiquarian resources as most of the Indian tribes in Canada do
not offer any free information.

My Canadian
Experience My own record of settling in
Canada. The Dept. of Immigration of Ontario suggested that it would be
interesting if I documented my experiences in coming to Canada and
the progress I made towards getting Permanent Landed Status and then
on to Citizenship. I don't pretend this is an exciting read as
there is a lot of mundane stuff but you might find it of interest
and especially if you are thinking of settling in Canada.
And finally should you have
information on any aspects of Canada and its people and way of life
please feel free to contribute it to the site.
