Between 1874 and 1911, 152,000 German speaking settlers arrived in Western Canada. By the start of World War I, more than 100 German settlements had been established, the largest being Rosthern, Wetaskewin, St. Peter's and St. Joseph's. German immigration to Canada resumed at the end of the war. Between 1915 and 1935, more than 97,000 German-speaking people arrived in Canada from Germany, the Soviet Union, Poland and Czechoslovakia. It was not until 1950 that Canadian restrictions on German immigration were lifted. During this period, Canada took a more aggressive approach to recruiting tradespeople from abroad. These changes resulted in more than 400,000 people migrating to Canada from Austria, Germany and Switzerland between 1950 and 1970. <ref>"German Genealogy and Family History", Library and Archives Canada, https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/fra/decouvrez/immigration/histoire-ethniques-culturels/Pages/allemand.aspx, accessed 13 Decembers 2020.</ref> | |||
The Germans from Russia are a prominent settlement group in the rural landscape of Saskatchewan. Perhaps because they came incrementally, by chain migration, rather than by organized group colonization, they compose an ethnic group little noticed by historians. Also, their immediate origins are divided, inasmuch as earlier German-Russian immigrants came directly from Russia, whereas many twentieth-century German-Russian immigrants came to Canada from the United States, mainly from North Dakota and South Dakota. <br>"Germans from Russia in Saskatchewan: An Oral History", Jessica Clark.
