The “White Canada” policy.
The “White Canada” policy.
It laid down in the Immigration Act of 1910, and extended in the Immigration Act of 1952. The policy was ended in the Immigration Regulations of 1967, when a non-racial set of admission criteria was adopted.
The Canada's justification behind the “White Canada” immigration policy was the preservation and cementation of the primary role of Canada’s founding peoples of European origin. The idea that other peoples (who had taken no part in the settlement efforts and in the centuries-long creation of the institutions and infrastructure of Canada) might simply arrive in mass numbers to claim Canada as equally their own was anathema to Canadians before the establishment of multiculturalism.
