History of Canada

Canada is a country whose first settlements are dated


approximately more than 25,000 years ago. Since then until our
days,the story ofthis country has made significant progress, with episodes of
the Vikings, with the French who colonized these lands in the 16th century, and with
the United Kingdom, until its independence as a country in 1867.

Human presence, according to archaeologists, in the north of Yukon, is


established approximately over 25,000 years ago, as well as in the region of
Ontario 10,000 years ago. But the earliest known signs date back to
our era, specifically in the 11th century, when the Vikings arrived in these
lands, with the Son of Erik the Red, law who from Greenland arrived to the
current Canada.

Centuries later, specifically in the last years of the 15th Century, and when everything
the American continent was being colonized by Spaniards, English,
French and Italians, an Italian sailor named Giovanni Caboto explored the coast.

The culture of Canada: The language


Canada is a bilingual country: English and French are its official languages. In matters
legal and government matters, English prevails in all provinces except Quebec, where
The English versions of all the statutes act as the final arbiter in controversies of
interpretation. Twenty years ago, the proportion of Canadians who recognized English
as their mother tongue was a little less than 60 percent, while those who
identified with French as their first language was around 25 percent. Today the
numbers show that there is an even higher percentage of English-speaking people in the country
(and fewer French speakers), largely due to the significant influx of Americans who have
taken residence in Canada.
It is estimated that around 17 percent of all Canadians are bilingual, English and
French, although these numbers are a regionalized phenomenon and do not represent
necessarily the country as a whole. In the provinces with the highest number of people who
they speak French, like Quebec and New Brunswick, the percentage of bilingual people is
38 percent and 33 percent respectively. On the other hand, the province of Ontario, which
represents more than 30 percent of the total population, the bilingual rate English - French is only
of 12 percent. These numbers are, in part, the result of immigration patterns.
that over time they have shown that most immigrants are attracted to
Ontario, in part because all official and commercial services in Ontario are carried out
strictly in English, although French is guaranteed by law but not by practice.
In short, for those living outside of Quebec and New Brunswick, bilingualism
English - French is becoming less and less important in their daily lives.
