Canada (play /ˈkænÉ™dÉ™/) is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends 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.


In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies throughConfederation, 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 1931 and culminated in the Canada Act 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament.


It is a member of the G7G8G20NATOOECDWTOCommonwealth of Nations,FrancophonieOASAPEC, and UN. With the eighth-highest Human Development Index globally, it has one of the highest standards of living in the world.
