Settlement Needs: The Canadian Experience addresses this gap in the historiography of Canadian Immigration.  From the tentative steps taken by the pre-Confederation colonies to provide for the needs of arriving immigrants, often sick and destitute, through the provision of accommodation and free land to settlers of a century ago, to today?s multi-faceted settlement program, this book traces a fascinating history that provides an important context to today?s policies and practices.  It also serves to remind us that those who preceded us did, indeed, care for immigrants and did much to make them feel welcome in Canada.  The Canadian experience in integration, over the past two centuries, suggests many policy-related research themes for further exploration both in Canada and in other immigrant receiving countries. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in population studies. 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy$xHistory 676 $a342.7108 700 $aVineberg$b Robert$01697992 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827347003321 996 $aResponding to immigrants' settlement needs$94197891 997 $aUNINA
