This is done in Table 50. Little comment is necessary in this connection, for the facts are presented very clearly in the table. However, a few points are worthy of special notice. ‘Of the foreign born in Canada, more have come from the United States than from any other single country, and of those Alberta has received by far the most, with Saskatchewan coming second and Ontario third. Russia has contributed to this country the second largest number of immigrants, and the province of Saskatchewan has received more bf these than has any other province. Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba have. received about the same numbers each, and about one-third less than Saskatchewan. Those of Austrian birth are concentrated in the two provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan in about equal numbers, each of these provinces having almost twice as many Austrian born as Alberta or Ontario. It is rather surprising to find that those of Chinese birth stand fourth in numbers among the foreign born in Canada. As has been pointed out. the great bulk of them are in British Columbia. The province of Ontario has almost as many Italians as the rest of Canada put together. While the largest numbers of Russians, Austrians and Galicians are either in Manitoba or Saskatchewan, the largest number of Poles is in Ontario. Ontario has twice as many Poles as any other province. The Swedes rank eighth among the foreign born. Of all the provinces, Saskatchewan has the largest number. Alberta comes second and Manitoba third, with about half as many as the province of Saskatchewan, Finally, the largest number of German immigrants is found in the province of Ontario, with Saskatchewan in second place.
