from the standpoint of linguistic, economic and educational assimilation the United States
born and Canadian born are very similar. Consequently there are real grounds for regarding
the Scandinavians as among the earlier immigrants, though a smaller percentage were
Canadian born than was the case for the Slavs or Latins and Greeks. Over 60 p.c. of the
Scandinavians were born on this continent, as opposed to 54 p.c. of the Slavs and 45 p.c.
of the Latins and Greeks.
A considerable proportion of United States born also characterizes the Dutch and
Germans in this country. While 83 p.c. of the Dutch and 72 p.c. of the Germans were
born in Canada, over 91 p.c. of the former and 85 pe. of the latter were born on the
American continent and brought up under the more or less similar cultures of the two
English-speaking North American nations.
Portuguese should also be classed among the older immigrants because of the proportion
sorn in ‘Canada; on similar grounds to those mentioned above, the Spanish with a total of
80 p.c. North American born, are not to be thought of as among the new arrivals. Canadian
residents of these origins, however, are comparatively few.
The Belgians, on the other hand, with 33.41 p.c. Canadian born and 3.63 p.c. born in
the United States, though from Northern Europe, are among the new comers to this
continent. The Latins and Greeks show less than 46 p.c. North American born, a percentage
