Abstract: A 12 page review of the history of fluctuations in Canada's immigration policies throughout the 20th century and their relationship to economic considerations tied to world-wide and national booms and recessions, demographic trends, unemployment, and citizen opinion. The ways in which immigrants affect spending for social services versus what they may contribute in labor, investments, and entrepreneurial efforts is considered. The social impact of large numbers of immigrants on public opinion and policy is discussed with respect to economic issues. Extensive footnoting from sources.
