A Brief History of Canada

Knowing about the history of Canada may prove to be helpful if you're about to become a Canadian citizen, because it's part of the citizenship test. It's also a good idea to know about Canada's background if you intend to make this country your future home. "There are no limits to the majestic future which lies before the mighty expanse of Canada with its virile, aspiring, cultured, and generous-hearted people." -Sir Winston Churchill From First Nations to a very diverse nation, Canada's journey has not entirely been a peaceful one, yet it's known as one of the most peaceful countries in the world today. In the following pages you'll learn about the creation of this beautiful country as it is today. The name ''Canada'' is derived from a St. Lawrence Iroquoian word meaning "village" or "settlement". In 1535, inhabitants of the present-day Quebec City region used the word to direct explorer Jacques Cartier toward the village of Stadacona. However, Cartier's "Canada" referred to not only the village, but to the entire area subject to Donnacona, Chief at Stadacona. By 1545, European books and maps accepted this region as Canada. The French colony of Canada referred to the part of New France along the Saint Lawrence River and the northern shores of the Great Lakes. Later, it was split into two British colonies, called Upper Canada and Lower Canada until their union as the British Province of Canada in 1841. Upon Confederation in 1867, the name ''Canada'' was adopted for the entire country, and was often referred to as the ''Dominion of Canada'' until the 1950s. As Canada claimed its political autonomy from Britain, the federal government started using ''Canada'' on legal state documents and treaties. The Canada Act 1982 refers only to "Canada" and, as such, it is currently the only legal (and bilingual) name. This was reflected in 1982 when the national holiday was renamed from Dominion Day to Canada Day. Since this is only a brief history of Canada, I will only describe significant events and important dates in Canada's history. I've divided the history of Canada into the following periods: Canada before British Control Canada under British Control Confederation and World Wars Post War Canada Canada Now Explorers and First Peoples

Men don't have to just fade away, act out, self-medicate, have heart attacks, or get the proverbial new hairstyle, new car, and new wife. In fact, they can feel better than ever, and enhance their prime of life. Research has shown that there's a medical reason for the almost clichéd mid-life crisis—andropause, the male menopause. So how can men cope with the many emotional, physical, mental, and sexual changes that accompany the decreased testosterone responsible for this universal life change? And more important, what can they do to improve their symptoms and move towards increased energy, virility, intensity, and well being? The Testosterone Factor is a guide for the millions of men who feel baffled and frustrated by andropause. It offers comprehensive worksheets to help readers quantify their symptoms and gauge their level of andropause, then arms them with specific, personalized strategies for improving their overall wellness. It does all of this without terminology overload, and explains clearly and without jargon the power of testosterone, the master hormone of masculinity. Dr. Qaadri also tackles that most sensitive of issues—"plumbing problems"—and discusses the pros and cons of Viagra and its cousins. By offering clear information in an upbeat tone, as well as a variety of lifestyle approaches, natural exercises, and step-by-step techniques, The Testosterone Factor helps the reader identify his priorities and follow a strategy that's best for him.

Our Canadian Immigration Journey; How We Did It

When we started our investigation about how Canadian Immigration works, we began by looking for information on the Internet. I visited several forums and message boards to ask questions to forum members living in Canada, and we also visited several Canadian Immigration Web sites. I would suggest the Yahoo! Answers boards today as the best place to ask questions, but the forum I used almost four years ago was mainly the eBay forum, since I was an avid eBayer back then. I met many friendly Canadians willing to answer my questions, who even sympathized with our situation (part 1 of the journey). One such an eBayer was a person whom I quickly became friends with. He was there to encourage me; to point me into the right direction if he knew something; to sympathize with me if things were taking a frustrating turn, etc. He became a true friend, and he didn't even know me. Because of him and others on eBay I knew I was going to love living in Canada! :) He once sent me two medium-sized Canadian flags which I hung on my bedroom wall so that we could see it first thing in the morning as we woke up and last thing before we would fall asleep. We used it to focus on Canada and to visualize that we would soon arrive in Canada as Permanent Residents. Visualizing certainly helps, so get some Canadian souvenirs (preferably a flag) to help you with this. To take it another step further, it would be good to memorize the Canadian anthem. Get to know some facts about Canada too. Canada Flag and Map From the Canadian Immigration Web sites I learned about the point-system. From the official Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Web site I learned about the Provincial Nominee programs. We quickly discovered that by applying through these programs it would be easier and quicker to come to Canada, because this system is less strict than the Federal Government system.

However, it was very important to get a job offer first, before we could get nominated by any province. We learned that the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) was the easiest one of all. That meant we needed a job offer from Saskatchewan. Since living here I learnt about a company that helps bring skilled workers, mostly from Russia and Germany, to Saskatchewan and Manitoba under their nominee programs. At the moment Saskatchewan is a thriving province and is looking for people to fill jobs. My husband fell under the skilled worker category, as he holds a Refrigeration and HVAC certificate. That helped him get a job offer from a Saskatoon company, and luckily they were willing to go through the paperwork required on their part to get us over here. It's not as much paperwork as what the applicant for Canadian Immigration has to go through, but nevertheless it's a little extra work for the employer looking to hire a foreigner. Most companies would rather keep looking to hire a Canadian, so it is very important that your skills are required here and are in short supply, otherwise it will become difficult to find a job. After getting the job offer, things started rolling. We were corresponding with the SINP and following their instructions, such as getting police background checks, FBI fingerprints, sending copies of my husband's licenses, certificates, resume and previous employers reference letters, proof of sufficient funds to support our family during the first few months in Canada, etc. Lots of paperwork to do, but we did it, and we didn't even need a lawyer really. For a few immigration questions we had, we did contact a Canadian Immigration attorney. Most of the immigration attorneys provide a free assessment on their Web site and a free initial telephone consultation. The process started in March after my husband got the job offer, and with all the work involved on both the employer's part and our part, as well as on the part of SINP, it took several months, until we finally received the invitation to our interview with the Canadian Immigration office representing Suriname (the country we are citizens of). The Canadian High Commission is located in Trinidad. We left the States in December 2005 to go to Trinidad for our interview. It went pretty well, though we were nervous. However, after all the paperwork we had gone through, we expected to hear an answer right away. To our disappointment we learned that we still had to take care of some more procedures such as: getting a full physical exam by a doctor in our country appointed by the Canadian Immigration office; the FBI fingerprints had to be redone, as we had sent the previous ones to the wrong immigration department; we also needed a police background check from Suriname, since we had left it as adults. So after the interview we went to our country to take care of the remaining things we needed to do. Then, after that was taken care of, it was just a waiting game... at times quite nerve-wrecking. Of course the whole process cost us quite a bit of money, as is the case with most immigration processes, I assume. At least we spared ourselves the added cost of an immigration lawyer, thanks to the very informative Citizenship and Immigration Canada Web site. It's the official Canadian Immigration Web site and you'll find loads of immigration information here. On top of what we spent on the whole Canadian Immigration process, we also needed to have at least $10,000 CDN with us upon arrival in Canada, as we would have to prove that we could support ourselves (a family of four) during the first few months in Canada. It took five months since the day of the interview before we finally received the long awaited package that held our passports with the answer of the Canadian Immigration office. We were excited, but also very nervous to find out what the answer was going to be. Although we knew we had done everything that was required from us, there was still this little doubt in our minds that our immigration application may not have been approved, because of our deportation from the USA. Imagine our immense relief when we opened our passports and saw it stamped with a permanent resident visa!! We couldn't stop smiling for the rest of our stay in Suriname! :) Two weeks later we prepared to leave, on our way to a new life in Canada... and arrived here just a little under three years ago. Soon we will be eligible to apply for our Canadian citizenship. We can hardly wait! :) In all it took about one whole year from the beginning of the Canadian Immigration process to finally receiving the passports. This is considered fairly quick for people coming from countries of the western hemisphere (under which Suriname falls). We think that it's due to us spending fifteen years in the US and then getting deported, which totally disrupted our lives, and that may have placed us in a bit of an urgent situation.

Good luck on your journey if you're also heading down the Canadian Immigration path. Thank you Canada, for welcoming us!

STATEMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA:

Designated Medical Practitioners

All immigrants and some visitors need to undergo a medical examination before receiving a visa. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has designated certain doctors in each region, who are authorized to perform the immigration medical exams.

Medical exams

To protect the health and safety of Canadians, as well as reduce and prevent excessive demand on Canada’s health and social services system permanent or temporary resident applicants may be required to undergo a medical exam. If you are applying to immigrate to Canada, please see the link for permanent residents below. If you are planning a temporary stay in Canada, either as a tourist, student, or temporary foreign worker, please see the link for visitors. For a list of doctors in your country, territory or region that have been designated by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and are authorized to perform medical exams, click on the Designated medical practitioners link.

Medical exam requirements for permanent residents

You must pass a medical examination before coming to Canada. Your dependants must also pass a medical examination even if they are not coming with you.
Applications for permanent residence will not be accepted if that person’s health:

is a danger to public health or safety; or
would cause excessive demand on health or social services in Canada.

Medical Examination Instructions

Instructions on how to take the medical examination will normally be sent to you after you submit your application to the visa office.

Validity

You can only use your examination results in your application for 12 months from when you had the examination. If you are not admitted to Canada as a permanent resident within this time, you will be required to undergo another examination.

Authorized Doctors

Your own doctor cannot do the medical examination. You must see a physician on Canada’s list of Designated Medical Practitioners.

Medical Report Procedures

Medical reports and x-rays for the medical examination become the property of the Canadian Immigration Medical Authorities and cannot be returned to you.

The doctor will not tell you the results of the medical examination. The doctor will let you know if you have a health-related problem.

The designated medical practioner does not make the final decision. Citizenship and Immigration Canada will make the final decision on whether or not you have passed your medical examination for immigration purposes.
The visa office will tell you in writing if there is a problem with your medical examination.
