In Canada, senators are not elected; they are appointed. At one time, a senator was appointed for life, but about 40 years ago there was a change. A senator must now retire at age 75.

The nation of Canada is a democracy; it has an elected government.  Elected officials also appoint members of the civil service, so some officials are elected and some are appointed.  Senators are appointed by the Prime Minister, which is one major difference between the Canadian system and the US system.  The head of state, a ceremonial position called the Governor General, is nominated by the Prime Minster and confirmed by the Queen (Queen Elizabeth II of England).  Although Canada is no longer a British colony and is self governing, it has retained the position of Governor General as a symbolic link to the past.


Does Canada have senators?

No. Canada does not have a congress, that's strictly an American form of government. The Canadians are led by a prime minister, who is the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in its parliament. The parliament of Canada consists of the Senate and the House of Commons. The 104 senators are appointed by the 10 provincial governments, and they may serve until they are 75 years old. The 301 members of the House of Commons are elected by the people and serve up to 5 years.
