Jacques Cartier and Cape Bonavista, Newfoundland Kanata

Canada: Malo, who arrived off Cape Bonavista, Newfoundland, according to Huffington Post Canada. Kanata, or Canada, meaning "village" or "settlement," became the newly discovered land for the Europeans, mainly the French and the English. The new arrivals consisted of two small vessels, with crews amounting to about one hundred and twenty men, led by the Frenchman Jacques Cartier , a mariner originating from the small French seaport St. As the years passed, French migrants started flooding into Canada, settling in colonies and enhancing the power of what was then considered "the new France." The second wave of "immigrants" came after the British conquest in the 18th century. The main objectives of the act were to ensure the safety of immigrants and protecting them from being exploited. Thousands of English speaking settlers arrived to reside in "Canada." A couple of years after the Confederation, under the reign of Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, Canada issued its first Immigration Act of 1869. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
