Canada became a country on July 1, 1867, by means of the British North America Act. Canada was the first country to be created by legislation.
The British North America Act united three provinces: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada (which had been created by the Act of Union, 1840).
Upon Confederation, the pre-Confederation Province of Canada was severed into the provinces of Ontario and Québec.
At confederation there were four provinces. As time progressed more provinces and territorities became parts of Canada, some territorities became provinces and part of Canada was annexed by the United States. For more details you might consider reading the wikipedia article about Canada.
2,436,297, not counting 101,600 in Newfoundland (which only became part of Canada in 1949 - though the other provinces only became Canada in 1867).

As part of Canada, there are no trade agreements required, all producers in all provinces and terretories are free to engage in trade with consumers in any part of the country with no trade restrictions.
The United States does not have provinces. Instead, the country is divided into states. Each state has its own government and is part of the larger federal system that governs the entire country.
Canada first became a colony in 1497 when John Cabot first landed and "claimed" the land in the name of the King. Canada officially became the "federal Dominion of Canada" on July 1, 1867, marking the end of British rule over the Head of Government (the British monarch is the Head of State in Canada to this day). So.... around 1497-1867.
