The Discovery of Canada
The first inhabitants of Canada were native Indian people, the Inuits (Eskimo). The Norse voyager Leif Eriksson presumably reached the shores of Canada (Labrador or Nova Scotia) in 1000, yet the history of the white man in the nation really started in 1497, when John Cabot, an Italian in the service of Henry VII of England, reached Newfoundland or Nova Scotia. Canada was taken for France in 1534 by Jacques Cartier. The initial settlement of New France, as it was then called, started in 1604 at Port Royal in what is currently Nova Scotia; in 1608, Quebec was established.
The Immigration History for Canada
The narrative of Canadian immigration is not one of systematic population development; it has been and stays both an impetus to Canadian economic development and a reflection of Canadian attitudes and values; it has often been unashamedly and economically self-serving and ethnically or racially one-sided. The historical immigration from China and India stretches back thousands of years. Anthropologists keep arguing over different conceivable models of relocation to modern-day Canada, and additionally their pre-contact populations. The Inuit are accepted to have arrived altogether independently from different indigenous peoples around 1200 CE. Indigenous people groups contributed essentially to the way of life and economy of the early European colonies and thus have assumed a critical part in cultivating an interesting Canadian cultural identity. Statistics Canada has organized the impact of immigration on population development in Canada from 1851 to 2001. Generally, censuses are taken at regular intervals (every 10 years to be exact) which is the way Canadian censuses were initially augmented somewhere around 1871 and 1901. Starting in 1901, the Dominion Government changed its policy so that evaluation taking happened every 5 years. This was to report the impacts of the promoting effort started by Clifford Sifton.
