| | |  Douglas Jung: Encyclopedia II - History of Chinese immigration to Canada - Chinese in Canada after the completion of the CPROnce the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed in 1885, Canada no longer needed Chinese labourers. As a result, the government of Canada passed The Chinese Immigration Act, 1885 levying a "Head Tax" of $50 on any Chinese coming to Canada. After the 1885 legislation failed to deter Chinese immigration to Canada, the government of Canada passed The Chinese Immigration Act, 1900 to increase the tax to $100, and The Chinese Immigration Act, 1904 was increased (landing fees) to $500 (equivalent to $8000 in 2003). The Chin ...

| | | | Douglas Jung: Encyclopedia II - Chinese Canadian - History The first record of Chinese in what is known as Canada today can be dated back to 1788. The renegade British Captain James Meares hired a group of roughly 70 Chinese carpenters from Macao and settled them on Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, then an increasingly important European outpost on the Pacific coast. However, there is no surviving documentation or information related to the whereabouts of these early immigra ...

| | | | Douglas Jung: Encyclopedia II - Chinese Canadian - Chinese-born Many first-generation children who spend their entire childhood and adolescence in Chinese regions may find, without proper guidance, that it is extremely difficult to fit into the mainstream Canadian culture, and have thus isolated themselves individually or in a small group of Chinese-speaking Canadians. Among themselves they discuss Chinese popular music, news, and books, in Chinese. This trend may continue into university and after that into work, where they get employed in a Chinese Canadian-owned company. A small number of isolated Chi ...

| | | | Douglas Jung: Encyclopedia II - History of Chinese immigration to Canada - Heading into the new millennium With the political uncertainties as Hong Kong headed towards 1997, many residents of Hong Kong chose to emigrate to Canada. It was easy for them to enter Canada due to their Commonwealth of Nations connections. According to statistics compiled by the Canadian Consulate in Hong Kong, from 1991 to 1996, "about 30,000 Hong Kongers emigrated annually to Canada, comprising over half of all Hong Kong emigration and about 20 percent of the total number of immigrants to Canada." The great majority of these people settled in the Toronto and Vancouver ...

| | | | Douglas Jung: Encyclopedia II - History of Chinese immigration to Canada - Immigration in the mid-19th century Chinese railway workers made a significant contribution to the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway in British Columbia. When British Columbia agreed to join Confederation in 1871, one of the conditions was that the Dominion government build a railway linking B.C. with eastern Canada within 10 years. Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, wanted to cut costs by employing Chinese to build the railway, and famously said, "No Chinese, no ...

| | | | Douglas Jung: Encyclopedia II - Chinese Canadian - Canadian-born Some refer to those Chinese Canadians of later generations as "CBC" (Canadian-born Chinese), a parallel to ABC (American-born Chinese). While the name emphasizes their Chinese-ness, some "CBCs" themselves use it as well, usually simply out of convenience and may not fully agree with it. These people also sometimes refer to themselves as "Bananas" since they may look Asian, yet they do not speak Chinese and/or share little with Chinese culture, thus "yellow" on the outside and "white" on the inside.
Some of the labeled "Jook-sing" reject the possibility that China has anything t ...

| | | | Douglas Jung: Encyclopedia II - History of Chinese immigration to Canada - Strife during the post-war period The experiences of the Holocaust made racial discrimination unacceptable in Canada, at least from the government policy standpoint. Also, with the war aim of defeating Nazism in terms of discrimination, Canada's racial legislation made it look hypocritical. Moreover, with Chinese-Canadian contributions in World War II, and also because some of the anti-Chinese legislation violated the UN Charter, the government of Canada repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act and gave Chinese Canadians full citizenship rights in 1947. However, Chinese imm ...
