Colonists came to North America from both England and France, and created English and French colonies where those languages were spoken; later those colonies became the US and Canada, but the languages remained. (Note that in the US, only New Orleans still has any significant remnant of the French language, in the form of the Cajun dialect, whereas Canada has a much larger amount of French speakers, particularly in the province of Quebec.)

French and English are Canada's Official Languages. They have equal status. It is part of the formal recognition that the French and the English are Canada's two founding peoples. Nevertheless, several hundred languages and dialects are spoken within Canada.
