History of Chinese immigration to Canada
This is the history of Chinese immigration to Canada.
The first recorded visit by Chinese people to North America can be dated to 1788, with the employment of 30-50 Chinese shipwrights at Nootka Sound in what is now British Columbia, who built the first European-type vessel in the Pacific Northwest, named the North West America.
Every so often, I try to do my genealogy online, but sources are still very limited. History is very important to genealogical research as you can relate events to a specific time period.
In any case, the Chinese people have had an interesting history in Canada.
