Table 90 (p. 154) presents the differences between the provinces in a striking manner. 
Where the proportion naturalized for the foreign born from a given country of birth is 
greater than the figure for the Dominion, the difference is recorded with a positive sign. 
Where the reverse holds true the difference is prefixed with the negative sign. When the immi- 
grants in Prince Edward Island are distributed to their respective countries of birth their 
numbers are not sufficiently great to be representative, so deviations in detail are given only 
for provinces from Nova Scotia west. 
The first feature to catch the eye in the table is the preponderance of negative signs 
in the case of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia, and 
the frequency of positive signs in the case of each of the Prairie Provinces. What is 
generally applicable to the various immigrant groups in each province holds true for the 
total foreign born with one exception, viz, New Brunswick, While naturalization has not 
advanced so far in New Brunswick as in Canada as a whole for the great majority of 
immigrant peoples, it has proceeded to a very marked extent among the United States 
immigrants, who are largely the returning sons and daughters of French Canadian emigrants. 
Under the existing laws, naturalization is unusually rapid and easy for such immigrants, and 
when it is recalled that 60 p.c. of the total foreign born immigrants in New Brunswick 
are from the United States, it is easily understood how that province, while showing lower 
proportions naturalized for most of the immigrant stocks, shows on the total a higher 
average than the Dominion. The influence of the rapid naturalization among so large a 
body of United States born French immigrants outweighs the backwardness of the other 
foreign people in assimilating politically. The case of New Brunswick is unique among the 
provinces of Canada. 
Reverting then to the main line of our analysis, in respect to naturalization British 
(Columbia lags farthest behind the average for Canada and Ontario comes next, while Prince 
Edward Island, at the other extreme, is far ahead of the other provinces. Saskatchewan 
stands second highest in the Dominion.
