The term enemy alien referred to the citizens of states legally at war with
Canada who resided in Canada during the war. Under the authority of the
WMA, Canada interned 8,579 enemy aliens in 24 receiving stations and
internment camps from 1914-1920. Otter classified 3,138 as prisoners of war,
while the others were civilians. The majority of those interned were of
Ukrainian descent, targeted because Ukraine was then split between Russia
(an ally) and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, an enemy of the British Empire. In
addition to those placed in camps, another 80,000 enemy aliens, again mostly
Ukrainians, were forced to carry identity papers and to report regularly to
local police offices.
