A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada faces the political challenges of meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services, as well as responding to separatist concerns in predominantly francophone Quebec. Canada also aims to develop its diverse energy resources while maintaining its commitment to the environment.

Suchita Vemuri Staff Editor 8th April 2005	Hi Nate, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry reports that Indian exports to Canada have increased from C$ 280 million in 1992 to C$ 1326 million in 2003 (January to November): a five-fold increase. Canadian exports to India have marginally increased from C$ 529 million in 1992 to C$ 658 million in 2003 (January to November). The trade balance has been in India's favor since 1993: it was C$ 76 million in 1993 and was C$ 668 million in 2003 (January to November). However, despite the significant increase, India's share in Canada's imports is still less than 0.5%. Canada's investment in India is mainly in the areas of: power & energy, equipment & services; oil and gas; environment products & services; telecommunications & information technology; and the financial sector, including insurance. At one time the largest recipient of aid from Canada (through the Canadian International Development Agency), this is today negligible. This is partly because Canada has itself cut back its aid programme (which now constitutes less than about 0.3% of its GDP) and partly because, in 2003, the Government of India took a decision to decline bilateral aid from several countries, including Canada.

There are 2.1 practicing physicians for every 1000 people, for an average of about 476 patients for every doctor. As for nurses, the rate is 9.9 per thousand, or one nurse for every 101 people.
