The last Province to join Canada was Nunavut in 1999. ======================================= Nunavut is not a province. Nunavut is a territory. Other than the temporary Norse (Viking) settlements at the tip of Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula around the year 1000, the first European permanent settlement in Canada occurred around the year 1610 on the Isle of Newfoundland. It is generally believed, however, that several Europeans wintered in Newfoundland from time to time prior to 1610. These were men associated with the fishing fleets that frequented the Grand Banks. The Province of Newfoundland and Labrador entered Confederation on March 31, 1949.
