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.

During the ice age that lasted from about 50,000 to 17,000 years ago Asia and North America were joined by land that was as much as 1,000 miles wide for a time. People were able to roam over this entire land area. When the ice age ended sea level rose and cut the connection between Asia and North America, leaving some of these people in each place. As the ice receded further some of the people left in North America migrated south, some populated the far north of North America, including Canada.

In a sense then, the Inuit did not come to Canada. Rather their ancestors were stranded in North America when the sea level rose.

The British came to Canada for the same reasons they came to America. They wanted to expand their empire and markets for new materials they could not get at home.

Mostly because of the money to be made in the fur trade, but some came as people who worked for the crown, others wanted a life where they'd be free from religious persecution.

The natives of Canada, (also known as the Aboriginals) are the first people who came to Canada. Some of the tribes are: Algonquian, Inuit, Mates, Micmac etc. There are many different tribes who live in different villages. Many natives of Canada are still alive today, as the Natives are a breed of people. I have went to British Columbia before, where Natives are very popular. I have seen many Natives singing on the streets. Did you know the natives and the pioneers drink alcohol a lot? In fact, they start taking drugs at as little age as six years old!

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.
