Proportions of Stocks Born in Canada, United States and Countries other than the United States—Tables 18, 17, 18, 19 and 20 show the percentages of the respective stocks born in Canada, the United States and countries other than the United States, by various groupings. For purposes of distinguishing those born on the American continent from all others, as in the previous tables, the British born, other than Canadian, are included with the other immigrant born in the third column in each table. The first significant fact is the wide range of proportions shown as of Canadian birth. Neglecting the Eskimos and the Indians, the French show the highest percentage with 97.02 p.c. Canadian born, and the Chinese the lowest with only 7.49 p.c. Table 17 arranges in rank the percentages Canadian and elsewhere born (other than in the United States). Those stocks of whom large percentages have come to Canada in earlier years appear at the top of the first column showing the rank of the stocks by percentages of Canadian birth. Those of more recent immigration appear in the lower portion of that column. The reverse holds true of the percentages elsewhere born in the second column. On examination, these tables show that three-fourths of the British are Canadian born; the Irish show the high proportion of 85.48 p.c., the Scotch and English follow with 76.57 p.c. and 68.34 p.c., respectively. Of the British immigration, then, the proportion of English who have come in recent years is the highest. While those of British stock form over half the total immigration from the United States, it must be kept in mind that the United States born British stock in Canada is only a little over 4 p.c. of all British stock mm Canada.
