About This Book

A practical guide aimed at prospective British settlers that blends the author's first-hand immigration experience with government statistics to portray Canada's geography, climate, resources, and provincial differences. It surveys each province and territory, explains land and agricultural opportunities, industries, and transport, and assesses urban and rural employment prospects and living costs. Chapters discuss qualities and roles of men and women suited to settlement and offer concrete advice on preparation, passage, money, and legal land regulations. Illustrations and appendices supply contacts, addresses, and procedural details, while cautions note economic fluctuations and local disadvantages alongside opportunities.
