The 19th century but also the beginning of the 20th century, in Quebec, are marked by significant migratory movements. On one hand, there are many immigrants who come to the country to build themselves a better life: Irish, Jews, Russians, Polish, Italians and Chinese, among others. And then, on the other hand, thousands of French Canadians, but also some English Canadians, will decide to leave the Quebec to settle in the United States, they too in the hope of building a better future.
