摘要
This article examines the evolution of naturalisation in Canada between the Canadian Naturalization Acts of 1881 and 1914. During this time, the meaning of British subject' transformed from signifying a permanent allegiance to the sovereign to a status that conferred citizenship'. Despite claims that naturalisation had become more modern, it was largely conditioned by understandings of racial community in the British Empire.
