By law your parents or grandparents must have come from France, Scotland or Ireland.

No. My grandparents are all Ukrainian, on both sides, and I’m a Canadian legal citizen. This law has either ceased to exist or is not at all enforced.

I hoe that’s not true. Because a lot of my friends don’t have people that come from these countries.

Is that an other way of excluding immigrants from other countries? I know I don’t have family from there.

This was an during the early 1900′s. It was in effect because Canada wanted to have only British citizens as immigrants coming in. But, later on as less and less British people moved over here, the government decided to open immigration to other countries in order to keep a steady flow of immigrants into the country. Now, in modern times, this law doesn’t have any power. The government regulates the amount of immigrants it takes in each year depending on the country.

I study Canadian Customs and Immigration and there are no laws that say this in existence. Major limitations are due to health and criminal activity. NOT because of nationality. But I can believe this was legal during WWII period as we even had internment camps for the Japanese after Pearl Harbour. At that time we were also not accepting refugees or immigrants from Russia and Germany as well as Japanese and their decendents (despite they were American born or not).
