Government — Práctica del examen de ciudadanía canadiense 2026
GratisCanadá es una monarquía constitucional, una democracia parlamentaria y un estado federal. El examen de ciudadanía pregunta cómo los canadienses se gobiernan a sí mismos en cada nivel. — Discover Canada
La Corona y la monarquía constitucional
El Jefe de Estado de Canadá es el Soberano (Rey o Reina). El Gobernador General representa a la Corona a nivel federal. Canadá es la única monarquía constitucional en América del Norte, con la tradición constitucional continua más antigua del mundo.
El Parlamento
El Parlamento tiene tres partes: el Soberano, el Senado y la Cámara de los Comunes. Los senadores son designados; los Miembros del Parlamento (MP) son elegidos. El Primer Ministro y el Gabinete gobiernan, y la Oposición les exige rendición de cuentas.
Federal, provincial y municipal
Canadá tiene tres niveles de gobierno. El gobierno federal se encarga de la defensa nacional, el comercio y la inmigración. Las provincias administran la salud y la educación. Los municipios supervisan los servicios locales como policía, bomberos y transporte.
Elecciones y votación
Los ciudadanos canadienses eligen a los miembros del Parlamento para la Cámara de los Comunes. Votar en las elecciones federales y provinciales es un derecho y una responsabilidad de la ciudadanía. Canadá utiliza un sistema de voto secreto, y las elecciones deben celebrarse al menos cada cinco años.
El sistema de justicia
El poder judicial de Canadá es independiente. La Corte Suprema de Canadá es el tribunal más alto. El sistema legal de Canadá se basa en el derecho consuetudinario inglés (y el derecho civil francés en Quebec). El debido proceso, el estado de derecho y el habeas corpus son principios fundamentales.
Cómo se hacen las leyes
Un proyecto de ley debe pasar tres lecturas en la Cámara de los Comunes, luego en el Senado, y luego recibir la Sanción Real del Gobernador General para convertirse en ley. Los ciudadanos pueden participar a través de peticiones, contactando a sus representantes y consultas públicas.
