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.
