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).

Many people believed that they didn't want to be governed by a country an ocean away, and it took many days to be able to send messages, so there is very low communication, and they wanted to trade to a place nearby.

When did Canada approve a new constitution for a federal system of government?

I think you're referring to Confederation, which was Canada's first formal constitution and forged the original 4 provinces. If so, it came into effect July 1, 1867: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_North_America_Acts It's possible you might also be referring to 1982, when Canada officially severed all ties from Britain and introduced the Bill of Rights to the constitution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Act%2C_1982
