The Aboriginal people did not immigrate to Canada. Also known as the First Nations and Native People, the Aboriginals were the original inhabitants of Canada, who were said to have arrived in Canada from Asia (through Russia and Alaska) back in primal, non-civilized times. When the European people took over Canada, the Aboriginals were somewhat disrespected and robbed of their land. They are also known as Indians by some people, although this is incorrect because an Indian is someone from India, and this term is only used due to the mistake of Christopher Columbus back in the 1400s, who thought he had arrived in India.

If you count the first settler, then it will be the ancestor of aboriginal Canadians (Paleo-Indians / Paleoamericans) probably as early as 20`000 year ago. If that doesn't count, then the Inuits are believed to have arrived around year 1000 from Alaska. Then you have the French starting at 1534 and the British starting at 1583.
