Immigration figures eyed by Canada Commons committee
W D Scott commissioner of immigration told the agriculture committee that about 200000 immigrants may arrive in Canada this year. Last year 146508 entered, a 44 percent drop from the year before. He projected 70000 Americans would cross the border this year, with 4500 sent back for unfitness or lack of home. He denied that 50 percent of bonus immigrants abandoned farmland for cities and noted 25 US agents with land operators in the west. He described only a cursory medical inspection at embarkation for non assisted immigrants.
