Wrong AnswerNunavut, on April 1, 1999. Prior to that date, that Territory was part of the Northwest Territories. It had been split because people thought Northwest Territories was too big so they decided to divide it. =========================================================Right Answer1. Nunavut was carved out of the Northwest Territories in order to create a self-governing territory for the Inuit. The decision to create Nunavut had nothing to do with the previous size of the Northwest Territories. 2. Nunavut did not "join" Canada. It was already a part of Canada by virtue of being a part of the Northwest Territories.3. The last territory to join Canada was the "remaining British possessions and territories ... and the islands adjacent thereto" pursuant to the Adjacent Territories Order, dated July 31, 1880.Prior to that, on July 15, 1870, Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territories had been transferred from Britain to Canada.

How many colonies in Canada?
Lots of European colonies. For starters there was Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI, New Brunswick, Upper and Lower Canada, the Province of Canada, and British Columbia. But there were many more than that. New France was a French Colony, and Ruperts Land and the Northwest Territories are sometimes viewed as, or administered as British Colonies, as was the Red River Colony, though they didn't have the same standing as say the Province of Canada. At one point the Spanish claimed the West Coast as part of it's colony New Spain, and Russia claimed part of our coast was part of their colony Russia America. Norway and Denmark also had claims that part of our North was part of their colonial possessions. Then there are colonies of Canada. These include North-West Territories, Manitoba, District of Keewatin, Yukon Territory, District of Athabasca, District of Alberta, District of Assiniboia, District of Saskatchewan, and the Prairie provinces, Manitoba, Saskachewan, and Alberta which were effectively administered as colonies when they were first created out of districts and territories. And the newest addition, Nunavut Territory. I'm sure I've missed a few but that's the bulk of them.
