The first Canadian colonists were primarily from France, as they established early settlements in the early 17th century. Notably, Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec in 1608, marking the beginning of permanent French presence in Canada. Additionally, there were also some English and Scottish settlers in the later colonial period, particularly in regions like Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Overall, the early colonization was predominantly driven by French exploration and settlement.
