Presentation transcript:

After World War I After World War I was there high or low unemployment? HIGH! Some Canadians pressured employers to fire immigrant workers so that soldiers could have their jobs Who else was pressured to leave their jobs? Hint: we talked about it two classes ago!

Who is to blame? Immigrants were blamed for high unemployment Immigrants were blamed for starting the Winnipeg General Strike (Not true!)

Equality? Not all immigrants were treated the same Immigrants from Britain and other Northern European countries were welcome in Canada As people began to move into the city, Canada needed more farmers and farm labourers

The government decides The government came up with several acts and agreements that decided who could immigrate and who couldn’t and under what conditions Empire Settlement Act, 1922 Railway Agreement, 1924 Immigration Act, 1919 Chinese Immigration Act, 1923

Empire Settlement Act Recruited British Empire immigrants, but only if they were white Allowed British subjects living in Canada to nominate a relative, friend or acquaintance for farm or domestic work Between more than 22,000 women came to Canada under the agreement

Railway Agreement Authorized the Canadian National Railway, and Canadian Pacific Railway to recruit farmers from Europe Relaxed some of the exclusion policies to include immigration of Eastern Europeans (Germans, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, etc.) More than 185,000 Europeans came to Canada

Immigration Act Prohibited immigration of “Enemy Aliens” (Germans, Austrians, Hungarians, Bulgarians, Turks) People from certain religions such as Mennonites

Chinese Immigration Act Banned Chinese immigration to Canada Not ended until 1947 Between only 8 Chinese people were allowed to immigrate to Canada!

Immigration Cartoons People from Asia and South Asia were discouraged from immigrating to Canada There was even a law that required people from India to travel directly to Canada on a ship that did not stop anywhere along the way. But no ships sailed directly from India to Canada!

Other immigrants Other members of religious groups were barred from coming, such as Mennonites, Doukhobors, and Hutterites. By 1924, immigration officials barred Black immigrants from entering Canada on racial grounds; their race was deemed unsuited to Canada's climate. Immigration and Colonization department was hostile toward Jews and few were allowed to immigrate in the 1920s (this practice continued up to and during WII)
