English term or phrase: difficult sentence

I have this sentence that is causing me some difficulty. On this, the occasion of your becoming a Canadian citizen, I offer my congratulations. and those of the Prime Minister and Government of Canada.
My translation is I am sure full of mistakes. I ask for correction and how would you translate Prime Minister?
Here it goes:
An dieser Gelegenheit wenn Sie eine kanadische Staatsburgerin werden, ich schenke Ihnen meine Gluckwunsche und die von Prime Minister und der Regirung von Kanada.
Thank you so much for your help. Joanna
