Canada was created by legislation (the British North America Act ) which came into effect on July 1, 1867.
The provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada all joined at the same point in time. Also at that same point in time, the Province of Canada was severed into the Provinces of Ontario and Québec.
Therefore, three provinces joined, but there are four original provinces.
See sections 3 and 6 of the British North America Act(now the Constitution Act).

∙ 13y agoOn July 1, 1867, the new nation of Canada consisted of four provinces, but only three provinces created Canada. Confusing?
The three provinces that created Canada were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada. The pre-Confederation Province of Canada had been created when the Act of Union was proclaimed on February 10, 1841, uniting the former colonies of Lower Canada and Upper Canada.
Imediately upon Confederation, the Province of Canada was severed into the Provinces of Québec and Ontario, with the same boundaries as the former colonies of Lower and Upper Canada.
