Chinese Canadian Stories
(produced by CCS)
CBC Radio Canada International.
In the 1880s, thousands of Chinese immigrants worked to help build Canada’s railway. But as soon as their work was over in 1885, the message was clear: Chinese people weren’t welcome in Canada anymore. The Canadian government went to great lengths to keep Chinese immigrants out of the country, including an extremely expensive head tax on all Chinese immigrants. This 1997 CBC Television clip examines those difficult early days of Chinese immigration.
