How much can you bring back to Canada from Mexico?
Money laundering and terrorist financing are international problems. Money laundering in Canada alone is estimated to be in the billions of dollars. To help fight these criminal activities, the Government of Canada has introduced the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act.
Under the legislation, there are no restrictions on the amount of money that you can bring into or take out of Canada, nor is it illegal to do so. However, you now have to report to a border services officer amounts equal to or greater than CAN$10,000, or its equivalent in a foreign currency that you are bringing into or taking out of Canada.
This reporting requirement will assist the government in its efforts to:
- investigate and prosecute offences related to money laundering and terrorist financing;
- respond to the threat posed by organized crime; and
- fulfill international commitments to fight transnational crime.

Why is Spanish spoken in Mexico and Central and South America?
Because Spanish was the language spoken by the conquistadors. Spain conquered and colonized these countries and regions, which are now commonly known as Latin America.
The Spanish brought their language and their culture to the New World. Many of the native peoples of Central and South America today are the descendants of interracial marriages between the white, European Spaniards and the people they conquered (native tribes like the Incas, the Mayans, and the Aztecs).
On the other hand, the United States and much of Canada were colonized by England, and as such, they are English-speaking countries that are known as Anglo America.

What are some similarities between Mexico and England?
First, the common traits. Mexico and Paraguay are Latin American countries, meaning both have a majority of people who speak Spanish, profess the Roman Catholic religion and at some point during their respective histories, were conquered, colonized and finally gained its independence from Spain. Both are also rich in natural resources, but these nations have lacked enough investment to put such resources to work and help improve the economic situation of both Mexicans and Paraguayans alike.
Now, on the differences. Mexico is a North American country with access to the sea, while Paraguay is a South American, landlocked nation. Both are republics, but Mexico is a federation of 31 independent states and one federal district while Paraguay is a "constitutional republic" with 17 departments. The racial make up of Paraguay is predominantly of mestizo (95%) while Mexican people have more Amerindian people in its ethnic composition (mestizo: 60%, Amerindian 30%). In general terms, Mexico is more economically developed than Paraguay.
Finally, some statistics:
- Population: Mexico 111,211,789 / Paraguay 6,995,655 (both July 2010 est.)
- Land area: Mexico 1,972,550 sq km (761,606 sq mi) / Paraguay 406,752 sq km (157,048 sq mi)
