| Abstract | This article examines the reasons for and effects of German immigration to New Brunswick, Canada in the twentieth century. Besides the thrust from Europe, there was also a need in and a lure from North America in the form of active recruitment to attract "desirable" settlers which brought immigrants to the New World. At the end of WWII, Canada became very attractive to poor refugees. After Canada opened its borders to German nationals in 1950, almost half a million Germans came to Canada over a 20-year period. New Brunswick has a population of a little more than 600,000 in an area that would cover about two-thirds the area of West Germany. Its Department of Commerce and Technology has been actively promoting this province in Europe in an effort to attract the "business immigrant," which is part of a larger effort to develop New Brunswick industrially and economically. |
