title: [A century of French immigration to Canada (1881-1980)].
abstract: French immigration to Canada from 1881 to 1980 is examined.  It is noted that "in one century, about 144,000 Frenchmen emigrated to Canada.  The movement, which was very limited until 1900, spread until 1914, collapsed between 1914 and 1945 and then soared after the Second World War.  Until 1914 Frenchmen went mainly to the West; since 1945 they have gone principally to Quebec."  The history of Canadian immigration policy during the past century is also reviewed (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
