From the history
Indians and Eskimos were the original inhabitants but officially the coast of Canada was discovered in 1497. The first settlers were the French in the 17th century, who called their colony New France. Anglo-French rivalry in Canada resulted in the defeat of the French and in 1763 Canada became a British colony. In 1931 Canada became independent.
