Jewish immigration to Canada dwindled last year to 1,660, a decline of over 83 percent from the post-war peak year of 1947, it was reported here today. This decline is far greater than the general reduction of 43 percent for total immigration into Canada. Jews constitute only 1.5 percent of all immigrants.
