Le Canada est divisé en 308 circonscriptions. Un représentant du Parlement ou député est élu pour chacune des circonscriptions. Après la diffusion des chiffres de population de chaque recensement décennal, le directeur général des élections détermine le nombre de sièges à la Chambre des communes et publie cette information dans la Gazette du Canada. Les commissions de délimitation des circonscriptions déterminent ensuite les modifications à apporter aux limites des circonscriptions. Les commissions de délimitation des circonscriptions fédérales sont des organismes indépendants qui prennent toutes les décisions concernant les limites proposées et définitives des circonscriptions fédérales. Élections Canada offre des services de soutien à la commission de délimitation des circonscriptions dans chaque province. À la lumière des rapports de ces commissions, le directeur général des élections prépare une ordonnance de représentation faisant état des limites, du nom et de la population de chaque CF. L'ordonnance de représentation prend effet à la première dissolution du Parlement qui se produit au moins un an après sa proclamation. L'Ordonnance de représentation de 2003 (proclamée le 25 août 2003) était fondée sur les chiffres de population du recensement de 2001; le nombre de CF, établi à 301 selon l'Ordonnance de représentation de 1996, est passé à 308. L'Ontario s'est accru de trois sièges, alors que l'Alberta et la Colombie-Britannique en ont gagné deux chacun.

Le nom des CF peut être modifié n'importe quand par une loi fédérale.

Canada is divided into 308 electoral districts. A representative or member of Parliament is elected for each electoral district. Following the release of population counts from each decennial census, the Chief Electoral Officer determines the number of seats in the House of Commons and publishes the information in the Canada Gazette. Electoral boundaries commissions then determine the adjustments to the constituency boundaries. The federal electoral boundaries commissions are independent bodies that make all decisions regarding the proposed and final federal electoral boundaries. Elections Canada provides support services to the boundaries commission in each province. Based on reports from these commissions, the Chief Electoral Officer prepares a representation order that describes the boundaries and specifies the name and the population of each FED. The representation order is in force on the first dissolution of Parliament that occurs at least one year after its proclamation. The 2003 Representation Order (proclaimed on August 25, 2003) was based on 2001 Census population counts, and increased the number of FEDs to 308, up from 301 from the previous 1996 Representation Order. Ontario received three additional seats, while Alberta and British Columbia each gained two seats. The names of FEDs may change at any time through an Act of Parliament.

GeoAI are buildings, hydrography, forests, and roads automatically extracted using Deep Learning models applied to a source dataset, typically aerial or satellite images. The primary aim of GeoAI is to increase Canada's availability of high-resolution foundational geospatial data for both spatial and temporal coverage. ‌ The infrastructure and expertise put in place by NRCan enables a rapid, efficient, and scalable data creation process through the use of leading-edge technology and Artificial Intelligence models. Published datasets for a given source can be revisited at a later date as more accurate models are developed and put into production. For now, only static files are available, but as the series develops, new products and services will be added.

The Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB) is the authoritative national database of Canada's geographical names. The purpose of the CGNDB is to store place names and their attributes that have been approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada (GNBC), the national coordinating body responsible for standards and policies on place names. The CGNDB is maintained by Natural Resources Canada, through the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation. The geographic extent of the CGNDB is the Canadian landmass and water bodies; the temporal extent is from 1897 to present. This dataset is extracted from the CGNDB on a weekly basis, and consists of current officially approved names, feature type, coordinates of the feature, decision date, source, and other attributes. The output file formats for this product are: text (CSV), Shape (SHP), and Keyhole Markup Language (KML). Content advisory: The Canadian Geographical Names Database contains historical terminology that is considered racist, offensive and derogatory. Geographical naming authorities are in the process of addressing many offensive place names, but the work is still ongoing. For more information, please contact the GNBC Secretariat.
