Actually, there has been SOME immigration to Canada from France since
the Seven Years War (aka The French and Indian Wars to Americans). I
came across one such gentleman a few years back and have seen others
mentioned, all still alive and well as far as I know, so they clearly
came long after the Seven Years War. I expect the numbers are very
small but not quite zero.
