By ROBERT RICE
Canadian Press Staff Writer
LONDON (CP)-Britain's migratory movements to Canada in
1956 first was , like \ a steady
stream. Then it turned into 11
flood.
By the end of tbe year, it was
expected that at least 45,000 Britons will have emigrated to Canada, compared with 30,000 in 1955.
In the last month, with the
Suez Canal blocked, gasoline rationed and tilk of higher income
taxes, many persons who prcvi-
ously only thought .about emigrating finally did something about it.
- Th* result: Four to five times
as many inquiries Us usual at
Canada's immigration of fie? in-
London—a   rush  oKantastic  pro
portions. The graph showing thq
number of medical examinations
for immigration shot right off the
page, like a thermometer exploding in a heat wave.
MANY  BACK  OUT
However, Canadian officials
view the post-Suez surge as a
somewhat artificial situation.
Many would-be immigrants
came in on th€ spur of the moment, officials say. Once they cool
down, they may change their
minds. Others will find shipping
space hdrd to Ret next spring and
summer, and they, too, may fall
by   the   wayside.
The other words, applications
now in Britain don't necessarily
mean   arrivals later  in  Canada.
Even without the year-end rush.
the last 12 months will prove one
of Canada's better years for immigration. H hit a low in 1950
when 13,427 British immigrants
arrived in Canada and the most
"normal" high was in 1953 when
the number was 47,077.
"I,am delighted with this year's
figure," said Immigration Minis"-
ler Pickersgill in London last
week. Hf foiecasrthat next years
number will "greatly exceed" the
1958 movement,
LONG FOR NEW LIFE
The long queues—3,000 persons
in one day—indicate a tremendous longing for a new life
abroad. For those who lined up in
the unsettled, lets-gct-away-from-'
it-all atmosphere of late, there is
a departure deadline.   The medi
cal cards, permitting entry *.o
Canada, are good only for six
months, so those applying now
must be on a ship by June. And)
there just aren't that many ships
on  thc Atlantic run.
"That's the biggest bottleneck-
shortage of transportation," said
London immigration chief Cordon
dimming.
A 41year-old engineer, his parage booked for Jan, 1, was caught
in the peak of the Suez rush. His
comments were echoed b"y many
others in the queue who hadn't
got as far as arranging transportation. '
"It takes four words t0 say why
I'm  going to Canada," he  sa:d.
"Nothing  left  in  Britain!"
