September 10, 1939- one week after France and the United Kingdom. As a colony,I think we were technically at war when the UK declared it. The CBC has PM McKenzie's speech online on its archives.

AnswerCanada had been a independent nation, able to make it's own decisions, since 1867. The 7 day difference between September 3rd, when Britain declared war on Germany, and September 10th, was to allow Canada's parliament to fully debate the motion to declare war. It re-enforced the fact that we didn't have to follow in lock step with everything that Britain did.
