Researching immigration is more than looking at dates of arrival and ship’s passenger lists.
There are reasons why our ancestors decided to settle in a new country. Looking into the economic and social history of their original countries may give us the answers to the question of why they decided to leave. Canadian: Immigration Records looks at the population growth and settlement of the last two centuries, before Canada became a country.
What You Will Learn:
Beginning with a look as some of the reasons why people emigrated, this course discusses historical context and immigration policy. French and British Rule along with the fur trade will be examined. An overview of the immigration patterns for each province will be explored along with notable events such as immigration schemes, land companies, and ocean ports. The Home Child Movement and the agencies related to it are included as well as Naturalization and Canadian Citizenship policies. Research strategies and special records collections are included in the course.
This course can be taken as an elective or for personal interest. It is included in our Canadian Records Certificate.
