Elizabeth  II
(Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926)  is, and has been since her accession in 1952, Queen of the United Kingdom,  Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and
Head of the Commonwealth
. She is also Queen of  12 countries that have become independent since her accession: Jamaica,  Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint  Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint  Kitts and Nevis.
[b]
Elizabeth was born in London to the Duke and Duchess of York, later King
George VI
and
Queen Elizabeth
, and was the elder of their two  daughters. She was educated privately at home. Her father acceded to the throne  on the
abdication
of his brother
Edward VIII
in 1936, from which time she was  the
heir presumptive
. She began to undertake public  duties during
World War II
, serving in the
Auxiliary Territorial Service
. In 1947, she  married
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
, with whom she  has four children:
Charles
,
Anne
,
Andrew
, and
Edward
.
Elizabeth's many historic visits and meetings include a
state visit to the Republic of Ireland
and  reciprocal visits to and from the Pope. She has seen major constitutional  changes, such as
devolution
in the United Kingdom, Canadian
patriation
, and the
decolonisation of Africa
. She has also reigned  through various wars and conflicts involving many of
her realms
. She is the world's oldest reigning  monarch as well as Britain's
longest-lived
. In 2015, she surpassed the reign  of her great-great-grandmother,
Queen Victoria
, to become the
longest-reigning British monarch
and the
longest-reigning queen regnant
in world  history.
Times of personal significance have included the births and marriages of her  children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, her
coronation in 1953
, and the celebration of  milestones such as her
Silver
,
Golden
and
Diamond
Jubilees in 1977, 2002, and 2012,  respectively. Moments of sadness for her include the death of her father, aged  56; the assassination of Prince Philip's uncle,
Lord Mountbatten
; the breakdown of her  children's marriages in 1992 (her
annus horribilis
); the death in 1997 of her  son's former wife,
Diana, Princess of Wales
; and the deaths of her  mother and
sister
in 2002. Elizabeth has occasionally  faced
republican
sentiments and severe press  criticism of the
royal family
, but support for the monarchy and  her personal popularity remain high.
Canada
is a country, consisting of
ten provinces and t
hree  territories
, in the northern part of the continent of North America.  It extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean,  covering 9.98 million square kilometres (3.85 million square miles) in total,  making it the world's
second-largest country by total area
and the
fourth-largest country by land area
. Canada's
common border with the United States
forms the  world's longest land border. Canada is sparsely populated overall, the majority  of its land territory being dominated by
forest
and
tundra
as well as the mountain range of the
Rocky Mountains
; about four-fifths of the  population live near to the southern border. The majority of Canada has a cold  or severely cold winter climate, but southerly areas are warm in summer.
The land now called Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various
Aboriginal peoples
. Beginning in the late 15th  century,
British
and
French colonies
were established on the  region's Atlantic coast. As a consequence of
various conflicts
, the United Kingdom gained  and lost North American territories until left, in the late 18th century, with  what mostly comprises Canada today. Pursuant to the
British North America Act
, on July 1, 1867,  three colonies
joined
to form the autonomous
federal Dominion
of Canada. This began an
accretion
of provinces and territories to the  new self-governing
Dominion
. In 1931, Britain granted Canada near  total independence with the
Statute of Westminster 1931
and full  sovereignty was attained when the
Canada Act 1982
severed the vestiges of legal  dependence on the
British parliament
.
Canada is a
federal
parliamentary democracy
and a
constitutional monarchy
, Queen
Elizabeth II
being the current head of state.  The country is
officially bilingual
at the federal level. It  is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and
multicultural
nations, the product of  large-scale immigration from many countries, with a population of approximately  35 million as of 2015. Its advanced economy is
the eleventh largest in the world
, relying  chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed international  trade networks. Canada's
long and complex relationship
with the United  States has had a significant impact on its economy and culture.
Canada is a
developed country
and one of the wealthiest in  the world, with the
tenth highest
nominal per capita income  globally, and the
eighth highest
ranking in the
Human Development Index
. It
ranks among the highest
in international  measurements of government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life,  economic freedom, and education. Canada is a
Commonwealth Realm
member of the
Commonwealth of Nations
, a member of the
Francophonie
, and part of several major  international and intergovernmental institutions or groupings including the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization
, the
G8
, the
Group of Ten
, the
G20
, the
North American Free Trade Agreement
and the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
forum.

For Express Mail International, it may be possible to place up to 10-15 items in one package (for the one shipping cost) as it is flat rate envelope, which may be the most cost-effective, secure and fastest way to receive items internationally.
