the answer to how many colonies united to form Canada in 1867 is four===================================================No, the answer is three.Canada was the first country to be created by legislation.Section 3 of the British North America Act (now the Constitution Act) united the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada into a new country, Canada, on July 1, 1867.Section 6 of the Act then severed the Province of Canada into the Provinces of Ontario and Québec.
Canada was created by legislation (the British North America Act ) which came into effect on July 1, 1867.The provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada all joined at the same point in time. Also at that same point in time, the Province of Canada was severed into the Provinces of Ontario and Québec.Therefore, three provinces joined, but there are four original provinces.See sections 3 and 6 of the British North America Act(now the Constitution Act).
Canada did not come into being as a country until 1867. From 1841 to 1867 there was a colony named Canada, which included the area of the former colonies of Upper Canada and Lower Canada, but did not include the colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
There were 9 provinces and territories at the beginning of the 1900s. Alberta and Saskatchewan joined Canada on September 1, 1905. Newfoundland and Labrador joined on March 31, 1949. Nunavut joined on April 1, 1999.
