The immigration of Italians towards Canada began in years the ‘80s and ‘90s. However, there are different reasons for this movement, but the biggest one was the war.These first movements were going to create the first Italian generations in Canada. These generations spoke only their dialects and came to Canada without knowing a word in English. This means, not only they had difficulties to integrate with Canadian society but also with other Italians because of different dialects.

The second generation, on the other hand, made a further step in this process, which means they focused more on how to integrate with society and improve their conditions through education. Indeed, in the 1970s many members of the second generation move up in becoming employers, developers, home ownership, and so on.
