REPORT ON IMMIGRATION
v Mrs. C. Lynch- Staunton, Lundbreck, Convener.
T h e r e has been a material change in the attitude of the Canadian people
towards immigration during the last ten years, and especially so during the
last year. This change has, of course, come about from the general financial
depression that has swept over the entire w o r l d as w e l l as Canada, and from
the serious amount of unemployment f o l l o w i n g in the wake of the depression.
D u r i n g the period of readjustment after the war, Canada enjoyed a r a p id
and extensive agricultural expansion, which led to the expectation and, hope
that an increasing movement of immigration would insure still greater agricultural
development and prosperity. .
As the years passed, however, the anticipated increase was not realized,
in spite of the fact that various forms of assisted i m m i g r a t i o n f r om the B r i t i sh
Isles were offered. On the contrary, w h i l e immigration f r om Great B r i t a in
has declined, that from Continental Europe entirely without assistance from
the Canadian Government, has increased.
D u r i n g 1930, out of a total immigration of 163,288, there were 64,962 f r om
the B r i t i s h Isles, 30,727 f r om the U n i t e d States, and 67,599 from other countries.
S t a t i s t i c s show that our greatest i m m i g r a t i o n has occurred d u r i n g periods
of greatest general prosperity. A comparatively long spell of prosperity
brought us in the first ' fourteen years of the new century 1,141,547 immigrants,
and had this rate continued Canada would now have had a population of over
ten million people. The Great War brought immigration p r a c t i c a l l y to a
standstill, u n t i l about 1920 when it started to pick up again. But only by 1929
had it reached its highest point of the decade by 167,722, whereas in 1913 we
received 402,432 immigrants into the country.
D u r i n g the last year, a survey was made by ' the p r o v i n c i a l governments
as to the number of immigrants each province could absorb, and the estimates
received immediately resulted in considerable slackening of immigration
a c t i v i t y .
A l l immigration f r om the continent of Europe is shut off, except that of
farmers possessing ample means to establish and maintain themselves on the
land, and the immediate relatives of heads of families already established in
this country.
