The constituencies were created by the 2003 Representation Order and came into effect for the first time on May 23, 2004. Federal constituencies send members of parliament to the Canadian lower house . Provincial constituencies may have similar names with different geographical boundaries. Canadians last elected members for each federal constituency in the 2011 Canadian General Election on May 2, 2011 .

Four federal constituencies established by the British North America Act 1867 still exist: Beauce, Quebec, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Shefford, Quebec, and Simcoe Nord, Ontario. On October 27, 2011, the Conservative government issued Bill C-20 , a measure to expand the House of Commons to 338 seats. That resulted in 15 new seats for Ontario, 6 new seats for Alberta and British Columbia and 3 for Quebec.
