Continuous Passage Regulation.
Canada’s discriminatory Continuous Passage Regulation was a law that required immigrants to Canada to arrive by a single, direct journey from their country of origin. Because no direct route between the Dominion of Canada and India existed, this policy was a roundabout means to exclude Indian immigration and preserve — in the words of a popular song of the time — “White Canada forever.” Otherwise, both Canada and India were under British empire and should have been legally permitted.
