Who were the first European settlers in north America?
The first Europeans to arrive in North America -- at least the first for whom there is solid evidence -- were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985. In 1001 his son Leif Erikson is thought to have explored the northeast coast of what is now Canada and established a colony near what is now Lanse Aux Meadows, Newfoundland. Erikson and settlers spent at least one winter there before abandoning the settlement for unknown reasons. The Spanish conquistadores explored the Southwest of what would become the US in the 1500s but did not establish permanent settlements until St. Augustine, Florida was founded in 1565. By that time there were several permanent Spanish settlements, dating back to the 1520s, already established in what is now Mexico. Many European fishermen fished the waters off the northern coasts of North America but did not begin establishing colonies until the 1580s - beginning with St. John's and Harbour Grace, Newfoundland (now part of Canada). Permanent settlement of those towns began in 1583 and is documented in provincial and city/town records. The French established permanent settlements in Tadoussac, Quebec and Port Royal, Nova Scotia (now provinces of Canada) in 1600 and 1605, respectively, with the former eventually giving rise to the permanent settlement of Quebec city in 1608. In what is now the U.S., the British tried to establish a settlement in North Carolina, known as Roanake, in 1587 but the colony, known as the lost colony, did not survive. The oldest permanent British colony in the U.S., was the Jamestown, Virginia colony, settled in 1607.

Which colonies joined the federation?
The first 4 were Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Canada purchased Ruperts Land and Northwest Territories. From that land they created Manitoba. They were not a colony before joining. British Columbia was a colony, they joined next. PEI was also a colony. The Yukon, Saskatchewan, and Alberta were not British colonies unlike Newfoundland. Nunavat was not a colony other than a Canadian colony. So the answer is Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, British Columbia, PEI and Newfoundland.

Who founded the first colony in north America at 1607?
The first colony in North America was not founded in 1607. The first permanent European colony in the Americas was Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic, founded by the Spanish in 1498. The first permanently settled European colony on continental North America was Veracruz, Mexico, founded in 1519 by the Spanish. St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest permanent European settlement in what is now the continental U.S., settled in 1565, also by the Spanish. The first British colony in North America was likely St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, which was a bustling fishing community by 1583, with Harbour Grace, Newfoundland recording its first year-round settlers that same year. Tadoussac, Quebec, Canada was permanently settled by the French in 1599 with Port Royal, Nova Scotia following in 1605. The London Company (also known as the Virginia Company) founded Jamestown for the British in 1607, making it the first permanent British colony in what is now the U.S.A. but it was not the first European or British colony in North America, with the above colonies all predating it. The Roanoke Colony in North Carolina was settled by the British in 1585 but was unsuccessful as a result of the disappearance of its colonists, which is why the Roanoke Colony is often referred to as the "lost colony". The first attempt at a permanent colony in North America, however, was the Norse settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, Canada in 1003 - though this colony was later abandoned until English and French colonists arrived in Newfoundland in the 1500/1600s.
Which former french colony was Nova Scotia?

When did Canada became a British colony?
At the time immediately prior to Confederation, there were six (or perhaps seven) British colonies in what is now Canada.They were Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, the pre-Confederation Province of Canada (i.e.,the former colonies of Upper Canada and Lower Canada), and British Columbia.There was also the "proprietary" colony owned and governed by the Hudson's Bay Company, known as Rupert's Land.Each colony came into being at different times and in different ways. Shortly before Confederation, British Columbia and Vancouver Island were separate colonies. At one time, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island were one colony. At another time, Cape Breton Island, which is now part of Nova Scotia, was a separate colony.Canada itself was never a colony as such, unless the reference is being made about the pre-Confederation Province of Canada.

It wasn't? That's news to me, and to the other 921,726 residents of Nova Scotia!
