Best Answer

Canada was colonized mainly by the French and the English back in the 16th-17th-18th* century after being discovered by the Europeans. The main reason that Canada attracted foreign powers is probably that it was a vast spread of primarily empty land, on which farmers/citizens from the more crowded European countries could establish towns and development. Expanding to other parts of the world also meant more global control - and Canada was easy to take hold of because of the mostly empty land.
