Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick entered Confederation on the same date, July 1st, 1867. That is why Canada Day is celebrated on July 1st every year.
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.
the confederation was when three colonies joined to make 4 provinces. Quebec, Ontario, nova scotia and new brunswick. they became the dominion of Canada on July 1st 1876. the other provinces joined later.

It's complicated but the many provinces and colonies in Canada would not have joined into a Confederation if Britain had been willing to provide protection from the United States. Fear of American expansion was very real, particularly after official and unofficial invasion attempts in 1812 and 1813, and 1866 combined with decreasing interest from Britain to protect it's North American Assets lead to a Confederation of 4 provinces in 1867. It was that Confederation, created in response to the territorial desires of their southern neighbour, which created the need for a Federal Government.
To quote one of The Simpson episode : Quiet Nerds burps only near school. Quebec, New Brunswick, Ontario, Nova Scotia,
In 1867, there were more than four colonies. Only three of them were reorganized into the new country named Canada. They were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada which, upon Confederation, was severed into the provinces of Québec and Ontario. (See sections 3 and 6 of the British North America Act (now the Constitution Act).
