On July 24, 1874, five years before Thomas Edison's U.S. patent, two Canadians, Mathew Evans, from Toronto, Ontario and his friend Henry Woodward, patented the first incandescent lamp with an electric light bulb.
They did not have enough money to develop their invention for people to use and sold a share of their patent to Thomas Edison who recognized its vast potential.

 Patent no. 3738 - Science and Technology - Themes in Innovation - Made in Canada - Library and Archives Canada
Henry Woodward was a medical student in Toronto when he and Mathew Evans (a hotel keeper described in the patent only as "gentleman") devised their electric lamp.
Woodward and Evans pumped out the air in the tube and replaced it with a "rarified gas that [would] not unite chemically with the carbon when hot." (This gas was nitrogen.) The carbon glowed when an electric current passed through it.
As such, Edison's name is the one most people remember, while Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans of Toronto have become a footnote in the history of the electric light bulb.
