How did the National Policy target immigrants?

• A. TV commercials.
• B. Religious groups recruitment.
• C. To recruit immigrants, they sometimes used posters.
• D. They did not actively recruit immigrants.

Answer: (C)

The National Policy aimed to populate western Canada by attracting new settlers, so recruiting immigrants was a deliberate part of its strategy. Posters were a practical tool the government used to spread the message, highlight land and opportunities, and entice people from Britain and Europe to move west. This method could reach a wide audience quickly and directly promote the benefits of settling in Canada, which is why using posters best fits the idea of targeting immigrants. The other options don’t line up with how the policy operated: TV ads didn’t exist at the time, religious groups weren’t the official recruitment method, and saying there was no active recruitment would ignore the policy’s push to attract settlers.
