Because they were a colony of Britain.
------
By WW1 Canada was no longer a colony, but was a member of the British Empire. Canada was granted independent status in 1867. As a member of the British Empire, Canada felt it's loyalties were with Britain and so sided with her when war broke out.
Canada fought in WWI because at the time, we were a Dominion of Great Britain, meaning that we essentially did everything they asked when called upon. Although we officially became our own country in 1867, we still had strong allegiances to Britain and thus, when we were called upon to fight along side the English soldiers in Germany, we went along.
Until the Statute of Westminster was passed in 1931 Canada's external affairs were ultimately under the control of the UK. In essence, because Canada was a part of the British Empire, when Britain declared war on Germany and other countries at the time of WW1 Canada was also at war with them.
Canada was under Britian's power and beause Britain was fighting Canada was forced to fight with them.

Yes it did as WW1 gave Canada more job opportunities, and brought us out of a recession. It increased our manufacturing sector by a good deal. On the downside though, after WW1, Canada was in debt.
