4 PROVINCIAL DISTRIBUTION OF STOCKS AND NATIVITY GROUPS 
As in the case of the Germanic group, greater uniformity appears to obtain in the pro- 
portionate distribution of the Latins and Greeks in the more populous provinces of tha 
Dominion. The figures seem naturally to group themselves into three classes. British 
Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta show the highest proportion, and between them the 
differences are slight. The same uniform tendency obtains for Ontario, Manitoba and 
Quebec. Those provinces stand on a lower level. The Maritime Provinces show very 
much smaller percentages than either of the other two sections of the country. 
Another important fact in connection with the Latin and Greek immigrants ascon- 
trasted with the other linguistic groups, is that the proportion of the population of Canada born 
in those countries was higher in 1921 than in 1911, and that in every province where their 
numbers are significant, with the exception of British Columbia, the proportions in 1921 
were either as great as or greater than in 1911. 
Little need be said of the Slavic group* except to present the figures: —

Fluctuations in the proportions of foreign born Slavs in the populations of the various 
provinces, are marked. The concentration in the Prairie Provinces is worthy of notice. While 
in the west the proportions in 1921 were smaller than those in 1911, two provinces in the 
Fast showed larger proportions of their population born in Slavic countries in 1921 than 
ten years previously. These provinces were Ontario and Nova Scotia. 
The rank of the provinces according to the proportions of United States born is 
interesting :—

Comparing all the provinces, it is seen that Alberta and Saskatchewan had by far the 
largest proportions of their populations born in the United States. The percentages gradu- 
ally declined elsewhere, yet unlike those for any of the groups of origins previously examined, 
they are by no means negligible for the Maritime Provinces. For some time there has been 
a considerable movement of both British and French Canadian stock from the Eastern 
States back to Canada, and it is believed that this migration largely accounts for the 
percentages of American born in the far East being larger than the percentages for other 
immigrants. The bulk of the American immigrants in the western provinces are of British. 
Scandinavian and Germanic stock. 
Another interesting fact is brought to light in comparing the figures for 1921 with those 
for 1911. In British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan the proportions United States 
born were lower in 1921 than in 1911, but in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the other 
eastern provinces the proportions were higher. 
* These immigrants born in Slavie countries include a very large number who are Hebrews 
by origin.
