This first chapter covers the first period of the scope of the study, beginning with the end of the nineteenth century to the 1920s, when immigrants to Canada were leaving the Ottoman Empire, specifically from Greater Syria. It discusses the political and legal landscape of Canada during this period and how that influenced immigration.
