Answer:

No.

How were the Loyalists treated when they came to Canada?

They were often subjected to mob violence or put in prison. Loyalist property was vandalized and often confiscated. During the Revolution, more than 19,000 Loyalists served Britain in specially created provincial militia corps, such as the King's Royal Regiment of New York and Butler's Rangers.
