Whereas section 4 of the Visiting Forces Act, chapter V-2 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, provides that the Governor in Council may by proclamation designate any country as a designated state for the purposes of that Act, declare the extent to which that Act is applicable in respect of any designated state and designate civilian personnel as a civilian component of a visiting force;

Now Know You that We, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council for Canada, pursuant to Order in Council P.C. 2009-3 of January 7, 2009, do by this Our Proclamation

  • (c) designate the civilian personnel of the designated state referred to in paragraph (a) as a civilian component of the visiting force of that designated state if the personnel are in the employ of that force and are not stateless persons, nationals of any state that is not a designated state or citizens or residents of Canada.

OF ALL WHICH Our Loving Subjects and all others whom these Presents may concern are hereby required to take notice and to govern themselves accordingly.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, We have caused this Our Proclamation to be published and the Great Seal of Canada to be here-unto affixed.
