DISTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRANT STOCKS BY PROVINCES

(1) Radical differences appear in the structure of the population of the various sections
of the Dominion. The following table shows the proportions of specified groups in the
population of Canada as a whole and in each of the nine provinces in 1921 :—

It is seen that the proportion of British stock in the provinces from Ontario east
(Quebec excepted) was, on the average, approaching a half greater than in the Prairie
Provinces. On the other hand, the proportion of foreiyn European stock in the three
Prairie Provinces was three times greater than in Ontario and Nova Scotia, and ten times
greater than in Quebec, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.
(2) While the population structure in the East is changing comparatively slowly, the
population structure in the West is in a state of flux. An examination of the population
by nativity brings out this fact clearly. The proportions of the population foreign born
range from a little over one per cent in Prince Edward Istand to mearly 30 pe. in Alberta
and Saskatchewan and close to 20 p.c. in Manitoba and British Columbia. The largest
proportion shown in any Eastern province was 6 pec. for Ontario. The proportion Cianadian
 born ranges from over 97 p.c. in Prince Edward Island at the extreme East to approxi=
