french Canadian emigration :
between 1870 and 1930 the emigration of french Canadians continued , they became farmers in Ontario or settled in the provinces of Manitoba or Saskatchewan.these areas were easier to access due to the recently completed railway that spanned Canada and went from Quebec to British Columbia. departures outnumbered arrivals, in some years roughly 10% of the population left the province. some even left to new England hoping to still retain their culture and language but they did not succeed and were assimilated within a few years. some returned in 1920 but had already adapted to another way of life either in new England or the provinces further west.
immigration diversification:
in the birth year of the Canadian federation,1876, the federal government suggested policies to either restrict or stimulate immigration.most of the immigrants came from either England or eastern Europe.after ww2 Canadian prime minister William Lyon re-opened immigration to allow for continued economic growth because the immigrants worked and payed taxes stimulating the economy.
