I think it is mostly in Quebec where the French are. If you are asking nationality, the majority would be Canadians. But then you probably meant ethnic origin - - -, I would say British.

I think the nationalities of most of the people who lives in Canada are Canadians.

You probably mean the ethnic origins and not nationalities. The nationalities of Canadians is Canadian. Canada is one of the most ethnically diverse country in the world. You probably find the races of all the countries of the world in Canada. The biggest races are British, French, Italians, Chinese and others. It is also called a post-modernist society because this is what the world will be in a 100 years.

Actually it was the Native Canadians that first discovered Canada lol. Everyone seems to forget that. But as to nationalities I would guess many are of British heritage and then in Quebec and Ontario and other Eastern provinces there are many of the French heritage. But in this day there are so many of different cultures it makes Canada a truly wonderful place to live!

Native Indians migrated to Canada from Asia, then the Norwegians, the Vikings were the first "white" people to live in Canada. Until the indians killed them.

As for nationality I suppose Canadians are Canadians. My grandparents were Norwegian and Swiss.

This Statistics Canada table will give you an idea of what you are asking. It's how Canadians responded on their Census forms. However about 40% said Canadian, and 11 million responded with more than one asnwer.

Actually, the Norse discovered Canada. They just didn't hang around very long.

The French, then English, arrived within a couple of years of each other, shortly after Columbus "discovered America". I honestly think it's safe to call it a tie. (My own ancestors came here, from both parents' families, in the early 1600's - one family from France, the other from England).

Canada is a very diversified country with nationalities from all over the world. It would probably be easier to answer your question if you go province by province. As a Newfoundlander and Labradorian, I can tell you that the ancestry in my province is a mixture of Irish, Scottish, British, French, Spanish, Portugese and Inuit. I think I covered it all.
