Of the Canadian provinces that existed at the time of Confederation, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and British Columbia did not immediately join.

Which 4 provinces joined in confederation?
The pre-Confederation province of Canada, and the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, existed as separate British colonies immediately prior to Confederation. Confederation occurred on July 1, 1867. By the British North America Act, those provinces were joined together on that date to form a new country under the name of Canada. Canada was then divided into four provinces: Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The boundaries of the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia remained as they had been immediately prior to Confederation. The territory of the former provinces of Upper Canada and Lower Canada, which had been joined together as the Province of Canada in 1841 by the Act of Union, became the provinces of Ontario and Québec respectively.
Which two provinces joined Canada in 1905?
To "join" implies that two entities existed separately, and then became one. While Alberta and Saskatchewan became provinces on September 1, 1905, it was because they were created out of the Northwest Territories by the Government of Canada. These provinces did not exist as separate entities before September 1, 1905, and therefore could not "join" Canada. It is better to say that they "entered Confederation" on September 1, 1905.
