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.
