History The immigration of Syrians to Canada began towards the end of the 19th century, with the first known Syrian immigrant, Ibrahim Abu Nadir, arriving in 1882. This immigration can be divided into two distinct phases, the first one ranging from 1885 to about 1908, when the Order in Council P.C. 926 was passed, which restricted the immigration of Asians, including Syrians, and imposed a 200 landing fee upon them. This, along with the First World War and later the Depression , significantly decreased the volume of Syrian immigration. ref name Syriatoday ref name Multicultural cite web url http www.multiculturalcanada.ca ecp content syrians.html title Multicultural Canada accessdate 2007 05 14 publisher multiculturalcanada.ca archiveurl http web.archive.org web 20070928072603 http www.multiculturalcanada.ca ecp content syrians.html Bot retrieved ... sell goods from door to door. ref name Multicultural Notable Syrian Canadians Ren C3 A9 Ang ...
