In the 17th century, soldiers from Austria settled inNew France . Numbers increased following the passing of theStaatsgrundgesetz (constitutional law) in 1867 which allowed free migration fromAustria-Hungary for civilians. Emigration to Canada increased throughout the late 19th century and into the early 20th, until this was tightened in 1914 at the onset ofWorld War I .[ 16] Austrian Galicia , were placed in twenty-four internment camps across Canada, the last of which closed in 1920.[ 17]
