Canada, the first country created by legislation, came into being on July 1, 1867. Canada was created by the British North America Act. Section 3 of the British North America Actnamed the new country "Canada."

Since July 1, 1867, Canada has always been "Canada." Nothing less; nothing more. Although it was known colloquially as the dominion of Canada, the word "dominion" was never officially part of Canada's name.
