Canadians Studying in Britain

According to a blog post by The National Archives (UK), between 1937 and 1948, the British Council operated a scholarship program that brought 1,400 people from all over the world to study in the UK. The records are individually catalogued and can be searched in the Discovery Catalogue in series BW 84.

While most came from countries outside the British Commonwealth, 16 were from Canada. With one exception, they studied at and just after the end of WW2.
