SUMMARY 
Nore—It should be clearly understood by the reader of this summary and the report 
proper that the conclusions reached apply only to those portions of the several nationalities 
and stocks which have emigrated to, and are now a part of the population of, Canada. 
CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE POPULATION OF CANADA BETWEEN 
1901 AND 1921 
(1) In 1921, 55 p.c. of the population of the Dominion was of British stock, and nearly 
08 p.c. French. The other European stocks constituted 14-16 p.c. of the population, Asiatics 
less than 1 p.c., and all others, including Indians and Negroes, slightly over 2 pe. The 
population of Canada is thus predominantly British and French, these two stocks represent- 
ing over 83 p.c., or five-sixths, of the total. 
(2) In numbers, the North Western Europeans (other than British and French) 
exceeded the South, Eastern and Central Europeans in 1821 by approximately 20 pe, 
but the latter group has been rapidly overtaking the former. Numerically, the most 
important foreign stocks in Canada of North West European origin are the Germans, Dutch, 
Norwegians and Swedish, in the order named; and among the South, Fast and Central 
Europeans those reported as of Austrian, Ukrainian, Russian, Italian and Polish origins, With 
the exception of the Germans, the Hebrews (the majority of whom have come from Central 
and Eastern Europe) are the most numerous of the foreign stocks in the Dorninion, 
(3) Since the beginning of the century, the composition of the population of Canada 
has been in a state of rapid change. (See Chart 1.) The British and French form a pro- 
gressively smaller proportion of the population, and the numbers of Negroes and Red 
Indians bave remained virtually stationary. On the other hand, the numerical and per- 
centage increases of the non-British stocks in the past two decades have been relatively
