Best Answer

They came to start new lives and often to escape legal problems in Europe.

Often they were contracted to come for a salary or to receive the right to land in the new world

Some (women and girls) Were shipped to New France from orphanages and poor districts to marry the mostly male first wave of settlers. This would accomplish both the settling down of the the population and the increase in a native born French population.
