1925
Mussolini's Immigration Restrictions
Italian immigration to Canada started to slow down significantly. This occurred for two reasons. After World War I the Canadian government became more restrictive with immigration. With many Canadians out of work during the Great Depression in the 1930’s there was close to no immigration. Not only did the slowdown of Italian Immigration come from Canada it was also recognized by the home country. The fascist leader of Italy of the time Benito Mussolini, discouraged emigration to North America. Therefore Italian immigration to Canada from about 1925 to 1946 consisted of only a few hundred people.
