Mostly British with possibly one Grandparent of East to Central Euro admixture and maybe another Grandparent with some Iberian ancestry.

I would run your raw data through as many calc as you can .
I dont know how accurate FTDNA is, although its probably to some degree correct.

Judging by these results, you are mainly Northwestern European, but with a significant pull toward the South. Kind of 3/4 British, 1/4 Spanish. No evidence of any East European admixture.

So the best guess for a monoethnic origin would be what, French?

[Bosniensis]

He is English therefore Germanic.

British are not Saxon or Germanic people. British are Celts.

Not exactly, but you can surely say you are Western European. If you are Canadian, you're probably of mixed background, not only one country.
What are your haplogroups?

Seem mostly British with possible NW Euro components eg French maybe some distant Iberian.

Lol, this is the same thing I've heard in other forums and stuff, some people saying "You're British, bro, no doubt" and others telling me I'm probably French. Ancestry DNA tests aren't exactly a science, eh? lol

DNA tests are not perfected as of yet, but they do good job of telling what you are, but not to the exact. I don't think you are pure British, if you are then you have a Spanish ancestry. However your results fit very well within the French population, and it's mostly likely you are French rather than British, plus you cluster with the French people. It would be interesting if you can connect with the DNA relatives and you might start knowing the story. I don't doubt your French at all. Since your from Canada, you are probably of French Canadian background.

R-M167 for ydna, H3 for mtdna
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_R-M167

In human genetics, Haplogroup R-M167 (R1b1a1a2a1a2a1b1a1) is a Y-chromosome haplogroup which is a subdivision of Haplogroup R-DF27 and the wider haplogroup R-M269 (more specifically, its subclade R-) defined by the presence of the marker M167 (also known as SRY2627).[2]

It arose comparatively recently, after the beginning of the European Bronze Age, and is mostly prevalent in the population of the Pyrenees region.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_H_(mtDNA)#H3

H3 is found throughout the whole of Europe and in the Maghreb but does not exist in the Far East[vague],[28] and is believed to have originated among Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in south-western Europe between 9 000 and 11 000 years ago. H3 represents the second largest fraction of the H genome after H1 and has a somewhat similar distribution, with peaks in Portugal, Spain, Scandinavia and Finland. It is common in Portugal (12%), Sardinia (11%), Galicia (10%), the Basque country (10%), Ireland (6%), Norway (6%), Hungary (6%) and southwestern France (5%).[1][29][30] Studies have suggested haplogroup H3 is highly protective against AIDS progression.

I'm hoping this will become more specific when I get the newest update

[Adoptee]

The rest is basically just "Broadly Northwestern European" and a smaller percentage of Scandinavian

You won't learn much, I'm afraid. Just be a white/European Canadian of Western European descent. Most likely you are a mix of a couple Western and Northwestern ancestries.
