We were advised that displaced men could not bring their families Into Belgium. The men were brought there for coal mining. and if they did not work as it was intended they should. were they resettled in Belgium? No. They were sent back for resettlement in the American and British zones. In 1945. Canada. after having a royal commission examine into the subject. decided against permitting any immigration into Canada except from the Western Hemisphere countries and British possessions. Canada closed the gates. and then sent commissions to Europe and brought in selected single men. most of them Polish nationals from Anders army. I am advised that 8.500 were brought in.
