Each of the above numbered 100,000 or over in 1921. The number of English slightly
exceeded the French, and the Scotch outnumbered those of Irish descent by a small margin.
Of the non-British and non-French stocks, those of German origin were more than twice as
numerous as those of any other. The Hebrews came next with 126,000, closely followed by
the Dutch, Austrians, Ukrainians and Russians in the order named.
When the foreign stocks are grouped geographically and linguistically some interesting
facts are brought to light. Tables 8 and 9 present this grouping for the European stocks.
The North Western European stocks exceeded those from South, Eastern and Central
Europe by about 20 p.c. in 1921. The former represent in the main the “ old ” immigration,
and the latter the “new.” How long the northern and western peoples will continue to
constitute the bulk of the foreign stock in Canada, depends on the immigration of the
future. During the past two decades, the South, Eastern and Central Europeans have been
rapidly overtaking the North Western Europeans in Canada.
