Colonies indepence

[dabeldi bibi]

I'm playing with random new world and one of my colonies with well over 10 provinces won't become independent, instead they are under direct control of me. I wonder why they won't become a colony. Could it have something to do with that I conquered the provinces in a colonial war and that the provinces are another religion(protestant) than my religion(catholic)

2: Are they cored?

Thanks so much I didn't know you had to core them and I'm new to this so thanks for pointing out that it was on the wrong forum as well

Side note - you only need to core five of the provinces to form a colony.

The colony will form whem they complete and then core the rest (if you want to save some admin).
