Immigration to Canada in the late 19th Century
As we know from our studies people migrated to Canada for many reasons. We identified the negative things about their home country as being 'push' factors and the positive or attractive aspects of Canada as being 'pull' factors in migration. In your final assignment for this unit you are going to create your own advertising poster to encourage immigration to Canada. But before you start this assignment it is essential that you understand the elements of a good advertising poster .

Making Your Own Immigration Advertising Poster
As we discussed in class it will be necessary for you to annotate you poster once you have made it. This is a very important part of the assignment, if you produce a poor poster it will be almost impossible for you to annotate it.
