2 probability samples of native Canadians (CAN'ns), Nd78 & N=77 respectively, drawn from a pop of 10,000 in a town in central CAN, were asked to decide about the desirability of admitting immigrants (Im's) to CAN re 10 occup'al categories & later in the interview were asked to indicate their willingness to utilize the services of IM's as offered through 10 occup's similar or identical to those in the earlier question. Analysis of these data reveals that att's to IM's vary re occup'al position of the R & the IM's who are the objects of these att's. CAN'ns employed in higher prestige occup's generally hold more favorable att's to IM's than those in lower prestige occup's. IM's employed in higher prestige occup's are regarded as more acceptable for admission to CAN than those of lower prestige occup's. However, CAN'ns show less willingness to use the services of IM's employed in higher prestige occup's even though the latter are regarded as more desirable for admission to CAN. Although the value of Im's is judged on the basis of occup'al categories, a positive judgment does not imply that native CAN's will accept the services of IM's. AA.

An attitude questionnaire & personal & soc participation data schedules given to a sample of native Canadians resident in a small Ontario community provide the data for this study. Analysis revealed that att's toward immigrants were not related to such background characteristics as the subject's age, sex, marital status, religious affiliation, ethnic origin or length of residence in the community, though signif positive associations with educ'al, occup'al & income levels were found. Att's varied positively with the number of spheres of activity in which Canadians had contacts with immigrants, their positions relative to the immigrants in soc groups, & the extent that contacts with immigrants were judged to be valuable. The more a Canadian had involuntary contacts with immigrants, the more negative were his att's. No associations were found between att's & lack of contact, the kind of activities in which contact occurred, the native's comparisons of his & the immigrant's standards of living, & the subject's evaluation of the ratio of immigrants to natives in the contact situation.
