The Italian immigration started migrating to Canada in the 1830s and 1840s when the first immigrants arrived. The arrival of the immigrants was in small groups of people who were fleeing the effects of the war. The immigration continued until when large or mass group of people from Italy begun in the 1870s. Mass Italian immigration continued until when the First World War began in 1914 disrupting the process. Immigration of Italians stopped for six years and after the war ended. Before the great depression occurred the second phase of migration had begun in 1920 to 1930 which saw large masses of Italians moving to Canada. After the great recession that affected many economies in the world including Canada. The economic crises affected immigration, and no more Italians were migrating to Canada.

The Canadian industries needed cheap labor, and they could only get that from Italy as a result of the ongoing Immigration.
The need for the laborer has left them without an option. The building of the railway at the time required a reliable source of labor rather than the seasonal laborers who used to work and then go back to their country — the high demand for Laborers. When winter comes by the seasonal laborers went to seek work in the construction and manufacturing industries in Toronto and Montreal. After building of the railway, some Italian immigrants remained in Canada because they were unable to get a return passage back home due to lack of enough money leaving them stranded at the streets and construction sites. Another reason that led to some Immigrants to remain in Canada is that they got a job in one of the Canadian cities and they were able to accumulate...
