Document Summary
Four implications: growth in 1920s: impact of immigration immigration was not as popular after the war as before, economics were part of that reason, canadians were to as welcoming as they were before. They were more aware and wary, especially of non-anglo-saxon immigrates. There was a rise of nativism in 1920. The immigration act mandated the immigrants to be fluent in english or french. There was also a chinese exclusion act which prohibited all people of chinese descendants. It did however permit some chinese people to come in (assimilation) if they were skilled and highly educated. The purpose of this was to exclude virtually all. As the boom picked up in 1920s there were a lot of non-european people. This was not numerous and diverse as pre-ww1: movement to the north: lumbering pulp and mining and penetrated. Most of the sites of this industry were not settled.
