Asian History in Canada

History of Canada's Asia From the mid-nineteenth century to the early 20th century, British Columbia experienced an economic explosion. People who are willing to work hard find many opportunities. At the moment gold was found in British Columbia, Canada relied on workers to complete a transcontinental railroad. Many logging, coal mines and fisheries have not experienced sufficient growth to meet social needs. This portrays Canada as a place of opportunity and solution, and Asian houses are getting overcrowded.

South Asians and Indians also have a long history of being rejected coming to Canada. In the beginning of the 20th century, the "continuing passage" provision stipulated that immigrants should immigrate to Canada, not stop by anywhere. However, it was well known that it was impossible to go directly to Canada at that time from India. In addition, state newspaper editors said in 1912 that South Asian men should not be allowed to bring their wives for fear of permanent settlement. Finally, an excerpt from this special revelation of Vancouver Sun in 1913 claims as follows.

In recent years, the number of Canadian immigrants has increased dramatically. Asians are the biggest group to arrive in Canada recently. In 1986 and 1991 there were 819,000 immigrants in Canada, 19% of which were children under the age of 12. (New Canadian children) Currently, Asians are the fastest growing population in Canada. Asian immigrants include Indian, Chinese and others. In the past 20 years, there are the most Asian immigrants in Canada in China.

Canada signed the United Nations Charter in 1944, signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, and emphasizes discriminatory policy in Canada. After the intense lobbying by Asian organizations and an increase in sympathy with the people, Asians finally voted in Canada (South Asians and Chinese in 1947, Japanese in 1949). Only wife and children of Canadian existing citizens are eligible for immigration, but the ban on immigration in China and South Asia has been abolished.

The US police recently killed two black men, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, and caused protests, thoughts, historical lessons and lectures in the United States and Canada. However, for some Asian Americans and Asian Canadians, the latest strong impulse is to tell these four words to their parents. I would like to talk about immigrant parents and close relatives about black problems in their local communities with multilingual and culturally conscious materials. In a collaborative project, I translate this character into 14 languages ​​and calculate it. All of these are accomplished through voluntary translation work. It will start on Tuesday, July 19, 2016.
