What would become the Settlement Service grew out of previous settlement activities and functioned continuously, with the exception of the war years. Immediately, after the Second World War, former settlement staff helped relocate returning servicemen and women and then returned to their original role when immigration resumed.

As a footnote to the story of the Settlement Service, in 1954, a directive was sent to all District Superintendents and to all posts abroad noting that “the term ‘Settlement Service’ is still being used to describe the Settlement Division”. It went on to instruct that “the phrase ‘Settlement Service’ must not be used as a synonym for the Settlement Division”. It was feared that this might leave “the impression that Settlement Service is a function separate and apart from the responsibilities of the Immigration Branch.”26 This, like many other HQ directives, was honoured in the breach. In fact, the Settlement Division, itself, disappeared in a 1964 reorganization that placed the Settlement Service in a Canadian Service Directorate.27
