SUMMARY ON ORIGIN AND BIRTHPLACE — -_— —_ NATURALIZATION (1) Naturalization is one step in assimilation. Like intermarriage, it has a twofold aspect. It is, in the first place, an indication of the progress of the assimilative process. Further, it is indicative of the permanency of the interest of foreign immigrants in the country. Other things being equal, where foreigners naturalize readily they are usually more permanent residents than where they remain aliens. Great differences appear in the extent to which foreigners have naturalized and also in their predisposition to identify them- selves with Canadian national life and Canadian affairs. (2) To illustrate the first point, some 864 p.c. of the foreign born Icelanders of all ages and both sexes had become naturalized by 1921, while the proportion naturalized of the foreign born Chinese was only 4-8 p.c. The ten groups of foreign born who had naturalized to the greatest extent were the Icelanders, Hungarians, Norwegians, Swedes, Germans, Gali- cians, United States born, Russians, Roumanians and Austrians in descending order; the ten among whom naturalization had progressed least, were the Chinese, Bulgarians, Greeks, Italians, Japanese, Jugo-Slavs, Belgians, Finns, Turks and Dutch, in ascending order. The Icelanders had the highest percentage in the first list, and the Chinese the lowest in the second. The median percentage naturalized for the first group was 65'6 p.c.; for the second, 33:6 pec. (3) Urbanization js unfavourable to naturalization. When the proportions of the respective groups living in urban areas are compared with the proportions naturalized, on the average, a high percentage naturalized is associated with a comparatively small percent- age urban, and vice versa.
