It has been said that there are three things that matter in history: numbers, numbers, and numbers. This also applies to immigration policy. Canada’s immigration policy has historically been geared towards addressing specific needs, such as the settling of the prairies by Eastern European immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
