When did the country become and cease being a colony in India.?

Answer 1

Canada first became a colony in 1497 when John Cabot first landed and "claimed" the land in the name of the King. Canada officially became the "federal Dominion of Canada" on July 1, 1867, marking the end of British rule over the Head of Government (the British monarch is the Head of State in Canada to this day).

So.... around 1497-1867.

Answer 2

The British Colony of New Zealand was established in 1840 by the Treaty of Waitangi.

New Zealand became an independent Dominion of the British Empire in 1907; and in 1947 became a fully independent nation.

Answer 3

Canada became a country on July 1, 1867. Canada was the first country to be created by legislation.

The former colony known as the Province of Canada was divided into two provinces, Ontario and Quebec, which joined with the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to form the new country.

Answer 4

Canada's provinces became provinces at different times and in differing ways.

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia became provinces under section 3 of the British North America Act. Ontario and Québec became provinces under section 6 of the British North America Act. These were the four original provinces which joined to create Canada on July 1, 1867.

Three British colonies subsequently joined Confederation: British Columbia on July 20, 1871; Prince Edward Island on July 1, 1873; and Newfoundland on March 31, 1949.

Three provinces were created by the Government of Canada out of Northwest Territories: Manitoba on July 15, 1870; Alberta and Saskatchewan on September 1, 1905.

Answer 5

Canada was one of the original dominions at the time of the Statute of Westminster 1931 and therefore became part of the Commonwealth in December 1931
