1000'-on-top IFR Ruling

Hi everyone, first post on PPRuNe so here it goes...

I am working towards my instrument ticket and I've come across a few questions regarding IFR altitude assignment.

1) What, specifically, is 1000'-on-top, and when does it apply? I know the visibility and separation requirements but I don't understand the concept of the rule.

2) Can ATC vector you at altitudes below MOCA when radar identified. I seem to read conflicting rulings on this one.

P.S - I'm from Canada!
