1 март 1947 г. - Immigration Act NKA Chinese Exclusion Act repealed (1947)

Описание:

"Repealing the Act on paper was easy enough for the government, but for the many Chinese Canadians who endured the exclusion years, reconciling this part of theirs and Canada’s history would take generations.

After the Exclusion Act was repealed, restrictions on Chinese immigration continued, limiting entrance to only spouse and children of Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Chinese descent. About 11,000 Chinese came to Canada illegally as 'paper sons'. In 1960, the 'Chinese Adjustment Statement Program' was established to provide an amnesty to all the 'paper sons'. It is believed that Douglas Jung, the first Chinese Canadian elected as a Member of Parliament in 1957 played a role in pushing for the amnesty."
