This week we are going to look at migration and factors that influenced people to come to Canada.  First of all, there are two important terms for you to identify, “Migration and Immigration.”

2) Research a theory to explain the First Nations people’s early arrival in North America.

3) Geographers divide the reasons for Migration into two Categories:  Push factors and Pull factors.  Explain each of these terms and provide 3 examples of Push factors and 3 examples of Pull factors.
