Collection:: Economics Books

RELATION OF URBAN RESIDENCE TO NATURALIZATION 145 though very favourable to the above thesis, is not valid because the former are mostly the children of French Canadians who are merely returning to the country of their own people. In conclusion it may be stated that where the European born have naturalized to a greater extent than the United States born immigrants of the same stocks, various outside factors have entered in which suggest that such cases are abnormal. ‘On the other hand, where outside influence is a minimum the percentages appear to be positive. It is probable, therefore, other things being equal, that a generation's residence in the United States makes political assimilation of foreign stocks in Canada somewhat easier. It must be kept in mind, however, that the above generalization is tentative pending further investigation.

Table 84 (p. 147) shows the percentages of immigrants naturalized in cities 25,000 and over by countries of birth and the proportions of all immigrants (that is, both rural and urban) from these countries who have become Canadian citizens. Column 3 gives the percentages by which the proportion naturalized of the total foreign born (rural and urban) differs from the proportion naturalized among the residents of large cities, for each country of birth.
