Since we are giving history lessons.

Canada was referred to as such long before the creation of the Dominion of Canada (which was actually in 1867 through the British North America Act). It was in 1791 that Quebec was divided into Upper and Lower Canada.

Even before this "Canada" was used to refer to the lands disputed by the French and English. "Canada" has its roots in a mis-translation of an aboriginal word, by some of the original French missionaries in the early 1600s.

Although "Canada" did not come into general use until some time later, it was officially recognized in 1791 as Upper and Lower Canada.
