Canada and immigration, a long history
Immigration to Canada has played an important role in the country's history and growth. Since First Nations and European settlement in the 16th century, Canada has welcomed immigrants from all over the world.
Over the centuries, Canada has seen several major waves of immigration. In the 19th century, many Irish and British immigrants came to Canada to escape poverty and political unrest in their homelands. In the early 20th century, many immigrants from Eastern Europe and Italy settled in Canada. After the Second World War, many immigrants from developing countries came to Canada under government-sponsored immigration programs.
Over the years, Canada has continued to welcome immigrants from all corners of the globe, including refugees fleeing war, persecution and conflict. Today, Canada is a multicultural nation that welcomes some 300,000 immigrants a year.
