Dear Newcomer,
I would like to take the time to thank you for choosing Canada to be your new home country! I am sure that with your qualities, that you will benefit Canada in more ways than one! I am the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and this manual is to help new Canadians better understand what it means to be a Canadian citizen.
This manual will explore 5 major sections;
A current events section explaining issues of importance to Canadians
A section on how Canada’s government operates
An electoral system section which explains how governments are elected and what qualifies you to vote
A “Your Day in Court” section explaining Canada’s legal process from arrest to verdict
A section devoted to a major organization in which Canadians use to be active and purposeful citizens
In this manual there is a section which outlines two major issues going on in Canada today. It will summarize both articles and it will provide and in depth analysis of both situations.This will give you an idea of what Canadians deal with on a day-to-day basis.
The Canadian government can be very difficult to make sense of by just looking at it. This manual provides a guideline on how the Canadian government operates. The three levels and branches of our government system are described in detail as well. It is important to know about how the government operates for many reasons. You may want to run for one of the positions in office, or you may just be curious of how the country you live in runs. Aside from this section, you will also learn about the election process.
It is important to be an informed citizen of Canada because this is your new home! The great thing of being a democratic country (a country where the government gives the citizens many rights, like voting) is that you can choose what your government works for. You have the power to vote for or against your
