In an exploration of the relationship of citizenship to ethnicity in Canada, the history of the concept of citizenship & its relation to ethnicity as Canada evolved from a colony at Confederation (1867) to autonomous nationhood (post-1931) is chronicled. The development of subjectship/citizenship legislation & its linkage to ethnic selectivity in immigration policy & restrictions on the full exercise of the rights of citizenship by some ethnic groups are the themes of the analysis from the 1860s to the 1980s.
