Chapter Chapter 10 in Economics of International Migration, 1958, pp 146-162 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract A nation which follows a selective immigration policy finds its intake of migrants for any period determined by the relation between its own principles of selection, the numbers it is prepared to take in specified categories, and the availability of candidates from preferred sources whose health and character make them acceptable to the receiving country. Up to 1914 Canadian policy in general gave priority to the immigration of farmers and farm workers and domestic servants from the British Isles, the United States, and continental Europe. As unoccupied arable land disappeared, particularly in areas accessible to transportation and in climatic ranges where agricultural production for the market was under current technologies feasible, the character both of policy and of emigration forces altered. In the 1920’s immigration became to a greater extent than before an immigration of workers for industry rather than for agriculture. In the period since the Second World War this tendency has been greatly strengthened.
