Canada’s troubled colonialist history includes the 1923 Chinese Immigration (Exclusion) Act, which deemed people of Chinese descent “unsuitable for citizenship” and prevented entry into Canada by people of Chinese heritage for 24 years. As a result of the Exclusion Act husbands were separated from wives, parents were separated from their children. It was not until 1967 that race-based discrimination was legally removed
背景信息：
加拿大殖民历史包括1923年实施的《華人移民法》（又称《排华法案》）。该法认为华裔 “不适合入籍”，并在24年间禁止华裔入境加拿大。《排华法案》迫使夫妻、亲子分离。而这样基于种族的歧视直到1967年才被从法条中删除。加拿大殖民歷史包括1923年實施的《華人移民法》（又稱《排華法案》）。該法認為華裔 “不適合入籍”，並在24年間禁止華裔入境加拿大。 《排華法案》迫使夫妻、親子分離。而這樣基於種族的歧視直到1967年才被從法條中刪除。

July 1 2024 marks 100 years since “Humiliation Day,” the deadline for all Chinese, even Canada-born, to comply with the racist registration conditions of the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act. Chinese Immigration was controlled through a series of C.I. certificates, the Head Tax Certificate the most well known example. Almost all of the original holders of these Certificates have passed away but many Certificates are held in family collections. If you are in possession of any C.I. Certificates please fill out the submission form. LTNS will make you a high resolution scan at a drop-in location this June. A copy will be added to the archive “The Paper Trail Collection” at University of British Columbia Library Rare Books & Special Collections

2024年7月1日是“屈辱日”的百年纪念。它曾是所有华人（即使是生于加拿大的华人）遵守 1923 年《排华法案》中种族歧视登记条件的截止日期。政府曾通过一系列华裔移民证书来管控华裔移民，人头税证明就是最著名的例子。 这些证书的原始持有者几乎都已去世，但许多证书都由家族收藏。 如果你持有华裔移民证书，请填写此表格。“好久不见”将在今年 6 月提供证书的高清扫描。你所提交的资料将被不列颠哥伦比亚大学档案馆收藏。https://1923-chinese-exclusion.ca/
