American farmers moving to western Canada are far fewer than earlier estimates suggested. Land entries by Americans rose from 8798 in 1902 to 11079 in 1903, with most settlers buying land under Canadian laws. Even at high migration, the impact on Canada US relations and policies like reciprocity would likely be modest.
