Allot of immigrants decided to leave there homeland and come to Canada for allot of reasons some were because They were not allowed freedom of worship, The government had control over their way of life, Men were forced to serve in the army, and many more other reasons. Some people who came from Europe, there journey to Canada was very long The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took them two weeks by steamship and even longer by sailing ships, and many passengers became seasick. Some immigrants from Quebec toke a train to get to western Canada and it toke them 4 to 6 days to get there and they were overcrowded and without heat. Can you believe it no heat? like i would die being in a crowded place when its freezing cold. It must have been really hard, good thing they made it through though. So thank you to the people back then who left there misfortune homelands and came to Canada if it wasn't from them Canada wouldn't be like how it is today with all theses wonderful cultures, beliefs, and religion.
