title: [An assessment of international migration toward Montreal in the nineteenth century].
abstract: "This text first of all considers the quantitative aspects of this migratory phenomenon, demonstrating that it underwent a change of rhythm starting in the 1840s and that the 1850s and 1880s were the decades where the pace was strongest.  The article also places this mobility with respect to Montreal's overall demographic context in the [nineteenth] century.  A profile of the migrants is then reconstructed, as best enabled by the current state of research.  The following themes are subsequently discussed:  place of origin of the migrants, their demographic and professional characteristics, the causes for their migration and their integration into the place of arrival."
