From the early twentieth century to the 1960s, it
was the chronic shortage of labour in this young
developing country that attracted Italian
workers. The Canadian labour market, compared to
that of Italy, offered a relatively high level of
employment and income. Italian immigration to
Canada was also encouraged by Canadian
immigration policies, which were more liberal
than those of other countries due to the labour
shortage, especially after the Second World War.
