	MOFA: Interesting Episodes in Japan-Canada Relations
		The first official Japanese immigrant into Canada was Manzo Nagano in 1877, who made his fortune on a British Columbia venture that he set up to export pickled salmon to Japan.
		It was at Canada's initiative that Japan was admitted membership to the Colombo Plan conference that convened in Ottawa in 1954, the same year the accord was sealed.
		Canada should be accorded a place in history as one country that readily extended a helping hand when Japan was struggling to re-enter the international community.

	Migration Information Source - Placing American Emigration to Canada in Context
		Emigration from the United States to Canada in response to political crises is not a new phenomenon.
		Canada has a well-earned reputation for humanitarianism with regard to refugees, but Americans who may end up moving to Canada would do so mainly through the provisions in the Immigration Act favoring highly educated and relatively affluent "economic" applicants.
		For these Americans to actually "vote with their feet" and emigrate to Canada, or any other country, they would need to believe that public policy, and the attitude of their fellow citizens, is so at odds with their lifestyle that they no longer feel they have a place in the US.

		His study concludes that neither the immigration bureaucracy, nor the immigration lobby in Canada, nor the western intelligence community were as responsible for the influx of about 2000 war criminals and collaborators as has been generally assumed.
		The great majority of Nazi war criminals and collaborators who settled in Canada after the Second World War were admitted not on purpose, but as a result of the absence of, or inaccessibility to, information about their wartime activities.
		Canada kept itself in the background with regards to a solution of the postwar refugee crisis.

	CIC Canada \| The Role of Transportation in Canadian Immigration 1900-2000
		Canada's first large-scale experience with refugees occurred in 1956 when Russian tanks crushed a Hungarian uprising and 200,000 Hungarians fled their homeland.
		Although the number of Hungarian immigrants admitted to Canada was not large compared to the total number of immigrants in 1957--close to 40,000 Hungarians came to Canada in late 1956 and 1957--this experience with the Hungarians helped Canada's immigration authorities develop expertise in aviation movements that would prove valuable in future large-scale refugee efforts.
		While the federal government was meeting the challenge of bringing thousands of Hungarians to Canada, it was also dealing with a much larger number of British immigrants who had been driven to emigrate when Egypt seized the internationally controlled Suez Canal.

		These revised series are estimated assuming that the completions undercount between the 1951 and 1956 censuses and between the 1956 and 1961 censuses is given in each case by the change in census dwellings (occupied plus vacant) plus estimated demolitions minus mobiles minus reported completions.
		The number of structural conversions is the number for which building permits are issued inflated by the ratio of the population in all areas to the population in reporting municipalities; the number of demolitions is estimated in the same fashion.
		The number of vacant dwellings at census dates (1 June 1956 and every five years after that) is taken from the census; the number of vacancies in intervening years is estimated assuming the compound growth rate is constant.

		The author of this diligently researched study (there are over 100 pages of notes) admits that about 2,000 war criminals, immigrants with strong Nazi affiliations, entered Canada during the years 1946 to 1956.
		In any case, the author, a consultant to Canada's war crimes prosecution unit and a historian who specializes in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe, contends that Canada's record at screening immigrants for war criminals, while not unblemished, is still commendable and to be admired.
		The major reason, explains the author, is that proof of their crimes lay buried in records that were rendered inaccessible by the Soviet takeover in eastern Europe.

		Though his band might sound a bit on the mannered side to those listening today, there is no question that the musicianship of this group placed it near the top of the list of bands performing in the mid-fifties.
