When Canada came into being on July 1, 1867, there were four original provinces: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Each original province entered Confederation at the same time and none has a priority of entry over any of the others.
The fifth province to enter Confederation was Manitoba, but it was created by the federal government out of part of the Northwest Territories. Although it is correct to say that Manitoba "entered" Confederation on July 15, 1870, it did not exist as a separate colony prior to its creation. Therefore it did not "join" Confederation.
The first province to "join" Confederation was British Columbia, on July 20, 1871. The second province to "join" was Prince Edward Island, on July 1, 1873 .
