If, however, there were no "Canadians" until the Dominion of Canada was formed in 1867, then the first Canadians were the native population, the British and French settlers, freed and escaped slaves from America, and immigrants from around the world. Aboriginal were the first Canadians. The first Canadians could speak 53 different languages.
