The United States declared its independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain on July 4, 1776. However, the independence of the United States was not recognized by the Kingdom of Great Britain until September 3, 1783.

In Canada, confederation did not occurr until July 1, 1867. Likewise, Canada did not relinquish all political ties with the United Kingdom until Queen Elizabeth II gave royal assent on April 17, 1982.

Therefore, as a political entity and as a nation, the United States is much older than Canada.

Hudson's Bay Co. is the oldest company in North America and one of the oldest in the world. It was founded in Canada in 1670.
