Detailed explanation-1: -Recruiting Immigrants Between 1535 and 1763, approximately 10, 000 French migrants (including 2, 000 women) are believed to have settled in New France. From those migrants, the Canadian population was born. Settlers migrated mostly for work.
Detailed explanation-2: -New France was a French colony in North America. By the early 1740s, France controlled what is known today as the Maritime provinces, much of modern-day Ontario and Quebec, and the Hudson Bay region. The territory also stretched from today’s Northeastern United States to the Gulf of Mexico.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike the English colonies where self-rule had been pursued immediately, the people of New France had no such privileges. There were no elected assemblies. Decisions were made by local magistrates on behalf of the French king. Trial by jury did not exist, nor did a free press.
Detailed explanation-4: -Motivations for colonization: The French colonized North America to create trading posts for the fur trade. Some French missionaries eventually made their way to North America in order to convert Native Americans to Catholicism.
