A second wave of immigration occurred after the World War II, and between the early 1950s and the mid-1960s, approximately 20,000 to 30,000 Italians immigrated to Canada each year, many of the men working in the construction industry upon settling. Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia was an influential port of Italian immigration between 1928 until it ceased operations in 1971, where 471,940 individuals came to Canada from Italy, making them the third largest ethnic group to immigrate to Canada during that time period. <ref>"Italian Canadians", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Canadians. accessed 17 April 2021.</ref> | A second wave of immigration occurred after the World War II, and between the early 1950s and the mid-1960s, approximately 20,000 to 30,000 Italians immigrated to Canada each year, many of the men working in the construction industry upon settling.

*Italian migration into what is today France has been going on, in different migrating cycles, for centuries, beginning in prehistoric times right to the modern age. According to Robin Cohen, "about 5 million French nationals are of Italian origin if their parentage is retraced over three generations". According to official data of the Eurostat for 2012, the number of Italian citizens residing in France was 174,000. | |||
*Italian popular immigration to France only began in the late 18th century, really developed from the end of the 19th century until the World War I and became quite massive after this war. France needed workforce to compensate for the war losses and its very low birthrate. | |||
*Initially, Italian immigration to modern France (late 18th to the early 20th century) came '''predominantly from northern Italy (Piedmont, Veneto)''', then from '''central Italy (Marche, Umbria)''', mostly to the bordering '''southeastern region of Provence'''. It wasn't until after World War II that large numbers of immigrants from southern Italy immigrated to France, usually '''settling in industrialised areas of France, such as Lorraine, Paris and Lyon'''.<ref>"Italians in France", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italians_in_France, accessed 19vApril 2020.</ref> | |||
