- Description Level
- SubSubSeries
- Scope and Content
- This subseries is concerned with the collection of the client's debt to the JDC for the costs of immigration to Canada. These expenditures include items such as charges for rail transportation to the port of departure, maintenance in the port city, costs of documentation including passport, visa, photos and medical examination, as well as the cost of the actual ocean passage to Canada. (When the client was eligible for IRO assistance for ocean fare, the JDC supplied loans for inland transportation.) While the JIAS administered collections from those immigrants who had settled in Toronto, the CJC handled all other Canadian collections. The Client usually repaid his debt by mailing a series of cheques to the agency over a period of 2-5 years. When the entire sum of the debt had been collected, the agency forwarded the total sum to the JDC, the organization that had actually provided the immigration funds. The series deals mainly with collections from immigrants who arrived in Canada between 1952 and 14954, although there are a small number of earlier and later cases included. The files contain promissory notes signed by the aspiring immigrant prior to his departure from Europe.
