It is interesting further to see how the provinces have been sharing in the actual number of immigrants coming to Canada. Table 49 presents this material for British and foreign born. Of the total, Ontario has received the largest percentage of the British immigrants resident in Canada at the date of the census—over 40 p.c.; British Columbia came second with 15 p.c. and the Prairie Provinces have received about 10 p.c. for each province. Ontario has resident within her boundaries as many immigrants from the British Isles as the whole of the West. Quebec, with 8.4 p.c., is the only other eastern province which has received any considerable number of British immigrants. The table further shows definite grounds for the current opinion as to the very small percentage of British immigrants stopping in the Maritime Provinces. That this holds true also for the foreign immigrants is shown in the lower section of the table. It is of considerable significance that as regards foreign born, one of the western provinces leads in the percentage of total foreign-born residents in 1921, Saskatchewan naving 22.4 p.c. of all the foreign born residents of Canada. While in the case of the British born Ontario showed almost as many in actual numbers as the entire West, the four western provinces combined have three times as many foreign born residents as Ontario. Thus in this generation ah overwhelming majority of the immigrants of foreign stocks have gone West. The result has been to make the composition of the population in the eastern and western parts of Canada entirely different, and it is reasonable to suppose shat the cultural, educational and nolitical consequences will be more marked as this move- ment proceeds.
