Immigration in 20th Century Canada

The eight challenges in this unit explore the historical and contemporary treatment of immigrant groups. After researching positive immigration stories in their own family histories, students analyze the uneven reception of immigrant groups from the early Europeans to present-day "economic" refugees. In studying current immigration policies, students review hypothetical applicants to determine who to accept as landed immigrants, critique the current points system, establish an immigration quota and send a letter to the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.

Snapshots of 19th Century Canada

THIS PUBLICATION IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN DIGITALLY. (PDF)

This unit of eight challenges examines the social, political and economical conditions throughout the 19th century from four groups' perspectives - English Canadian, French Canadians, recent immigrants and Aboriginal peoples. Among the activities, students prepare a report card on the implications of nine selected events from each group's perspective; create a giant annotated timeline; write an "authentic" diary/journal entry about an assigned event; and prepare a one-page definitive assessment of the 19th century from the four perspectives.
