Answer: The first Europeans who came to Canada were the Vikings, specifically Norse explorers from Greenland and Iceland.
Explanation: The Norse, led by Leif Erikson, established a settlement in Newfoundland, Canada, around the year 1000 AD. The settlement was called "Vinland" and was believed to have been located in what is now known as L'Anse aux Meadows. While the settlement was short-lived, it represents the first recorded instance of Europeans setting foot on North American soil, several hundred years before Christopher Columbus' famous voyage in 1492.
