Was Canada also a penal colony either Britain or France?

Penal Colony was Australia, Canada has always been known as a free country that doesn't believe in war.

No, not penal, just a colony.

Sorry, your question does not make sense.

It is the refuge for royal and noble from the UK and other parts of Europe.

They escaped their own garbage and tried to rule north america til we stomped on them during the revolutionary decades.

Now they filter drugs in to try to keep control and still have somewhat of a empire here.

idk oof lololololololol esther shut up NO

Australia and French Guiana were the main penal colony for the British and the French.

Not officially, although there were a lot of remittance men who went to Canada to avoid scandal and/or prosecution. The USA had more actual convicts shipped to the colonies and sold as slaves than Canada ever did.

Look it up. Many condemned English criminals were shipped to plantations and sold as slaves, particulary during the years of the Stuart dynasty. After the Monmouth rebellion the government avoided hanging a thousand rebels by selling them instead.

That was Georgia and Australia.

The French sent their prisoners to South America. Like Devil's Island.

No, it was a place of  abundant natural resources that were in demand at the time, predominantly furs. People traveled there for that reason alone.
