What is Canada west now called?
Canada west is also known as Western Canada and the western provinces. This is the result of the attempt to reject from the culture.
In what year did the Canadian fur trade start?
It is generally thought that European fishing vessels, fishing in the Grand Banks area, began trading for furs with the First Nations people before Jacques Cartier's first voyage in 1534, and probably even before John Cabot's so-called "discovery" of what is now Canada in 1497. Therefore, the exact year in which the fur trade began will probably never be known for sure.
Who were the first immigrants to Canada?
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.

British North AmericaYes, it was called British North America. This was to designate where we now call Canada. It was called British North America because the British had control over hear and it was to the North of America (It still is).
