(Harry) 23000777 Homes and Careers in Canada Produced by David T. Jones, Mardi Desjardins & the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team at http://www.pgdpcanada.net "Homes and Careers in Canada" by H. Jeffs is a practical guide exploring the immigrant experience in Canada, likely written in the early 20th century. This work discusses the motivations behind emigration to Canada, the development of its territories, and the prospects for settlers seeking new lives in this vast country. It appeals to those considering moving to Canada, detailing the opportunities that the country offers for personal and economic growth. The opening of the book sets the stage by highlighting the significant influx of immigrants to Canada, particularly from the British Isles and the United States, with insights into their aspirations for a better life. Jeffs shares his experiences from a cross-country journey, emphasizing conversations with officials and citizens that shaped his understanding of the country’s potential. The chapter intricately discusses the bleak socio-economic conditions driving emigration, such as stagnant wages and lack of opportunities in Britain, while contrasting these with the promise of land ownership and prosperity available in Canada. This context illustrates the allure of Canada as a land of opportunity, while also examining the initial challenges faced by new arrivals adjusting to a different climate and agricultural practices.
