Only three provinces joined together, but once they did so there were four provinces. Confused??
The three provinces that joined in Confederation were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada. Upon Confederation, the Province of Canada was severed into the provinces of Québec and Ontario.

Manitoba was known as the postage stamp province when it first joined Confederation in 1870, becoming the 5th province to join Canada, or the first since the first four provinces (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick) in 1867. It was known as the postage stamp province because it was quite small then, only covering roughly 1/18 of it's current size. It was also rather square in shape, and because of it's small, square shape, it was nicknamed the postage stamp province.
quebec, nova scotia, Newfoundland and OntarioONLY ONE RIGHT OUT OF THREE!!==================================That's right! Only three provinces joined together to form Canada. They were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada.At the moment of Confederation (July 1, 1867) the pre-Confederation Province of Canada was divided into the Provinces of Ontario and Québec.Only three provinces joined together to form Canada, but there are four original provinces of Canada.(Newfoundland was the last province to join Canada.)
The last province to join Canada was Newfoundland in 1949. In 1999 the territory of Nunavut was formed from part of the Northwest Territories, but it does not have provincial status.Newfoundland Labrador was the last province to join confederationin 1949. Nunavut was the last territory to join Canada in 1999.
Canada East was not a political entity. It was part of the pre-Confederation Province of Canada. The Province of Canada was one of the three colonies that joined to create Canada, the first country to be created by legislation. The other two colonies were Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Confederation occurred on July 1, 1867. Immediately upon Confederation, the Province of Canada was severed into the Provinces of Ontario and Québec.
We cannot answer this question without knowing what list you are looking at.
The 1867 'Constitution Act' instituted confederation of four provinces; Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, as "one Dominion under the name of Canada".
Nova Scotia did not 'join' Canada. Nova Scotia was one of the original four provinces of Confederation.
the first four colonies to join confederation were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Canada East and Canada West.
In 1870, Manitoba decided to join four other provinces which had united in 1867 to create the Dominion of Canada.
Nova Scotia was one of the original four provinces to join Canada in 1867.
the first four colonies to join confederation were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Canada East and Canada West.

Saskatchewan and Alberta both became provinces on September 1, 1905. They were created by the Government of Canada out of the Northwest Territories. It would be correct to say they "entered" Confederation, but they did not "join" Canada because they did not exist prior to that date. The word "join" implies a prior existence.

Prince Edward Island (PEI) became the seventh province, but only three provinces have actually 'joined' Confederation. The British Parliament created Canada by the British North America (BNA) Act. The BNA Act created two provinces out of the pre-Confederation Province of Canada (Ontario and Quebec) and united them with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia as the four original provinces. None of the original four actually 'joined,' so none can claim to be 'first.' The BNA Act provided for the Parliament of Canada to admit British colonies as provinces in Confederation, and to create provinces out of the North West Territories. The colonies admitted as provinces were British Columbia (1871), PEI (1873) and Newfoundland (1949). The Parliament of Canada created Manitoba (1870), as well as Saskatchewan and Alberta (both 1905).
As a guess, confederation happened at the last conference, the London conference, on 1867.At that time only four provinces joined - *Canada East, *Canada West, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. At the second Conference which was the Quebec Conference. Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland didn't want to join Confederation. Canada East - Quebec \ Canada East and Canada West were called the United Provinces of Canada in 1841 Canada West- Ontario /
