Check with the German-Canadian Chamber of Commerce at http://www.germanchamber.ca/ . You&#039;ll find a lot of info on their Web pages and I&#039;m sure they&#039;ll be glad to help on any further questions, too.

A few notes about Germany becoming a country as this is a bit difficult to say:

The current Federal Republic of Germany was founded 1949, after World War 2, however, the first all-German country dates back to 1867, when the North-German Confederation was founded. Before that, Germany was a bunch of small, independend states, duchies and kingdoms. Between 1867 and 1990, there existed half a dozen constitutions:

- the German Empire 1871

- the Weimar Republic 1919

- the Third Empire or Third Reich (n**i regime) 1933.

- From 1945 until 1949, after Germany was defeated in World War 2, the country was under occupation.

- In May 1949 the Federal Repulic was founded in the American and British occupied sectors (that&#039;s West Germany), followed by the German Democratic Republic in the Sovjet sector in October 1949 (East Germany), between them the legendary Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall.

- Finally, Germany regained full sovereignty after World War 2 in October 1990 with the unification of East and West Germany.
