Title
Minority Group Status and Migration to Quebec: A Census Analysis of British and French Canadians
Abstract
A socio-demographic study of the migration of English-speaking Canadians (which the author refers to as "British") and French-speaking Canadians (which the author refers to as "French") to Quebec from the rest of Canada during the census periods 1966 to 1971, and 1976 to 1981.Two groups of variables were examined by the author: migrant characteristics (social demographic, ethnic and minority status) and origin-destination characteristics (economic and subcultural). The results of the author's study indicated that the migration rate of the "French" ethnic group was higher than that of the "British" ethnic group during both periods examined, and that the difference between the two ethnic groups widened during the later period due to a relatively large decline in the migration rate of the "British" ethnic group. However, he also found that there was a small decline in the migration rate of the "French" ethnic group between the census periods, suggesting that Quebec held less attraction for both ethnic groups as a result of social changes which occurred in the province during the later period (the election of the nationalist Parti Québécois government and the enactment of the Charter of the French Language -- Bill 101).
