Answer 1

The provinces were all originally distinct colonies that were established by the British and the French, and were governed independently. The different provinces entered into Confederation beginning in 1867 with Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick being the first provinces to enter Confederation. The other provinces eventually followed suit. As such, present-day Canada is in fact a unified confederation of provinces that have a fair bit of autonomy.

Why does America have states?

Answer 3

Canada was based on the monarchy that was present in France and England in the 1700s. They had provinces ruled by local governors that were accountable to the king/queen. Hence we had the same provincial divisions as they did.
