However, Canada immigration policywas not equal for Asian immigrants. The Canadian government passed two laws toprevent Chinese immigration. In 1885, the Canadian government passed the firstlaw to prevent Chinese immigration. The law forced every Chinese personentering Canada to pay a $50 entry fee. The government introduced this head taxto satisfy Caucasian(高加索人) laborers who felt thatChinese immigrants were competing for their jobs. The head tax was a burden forChinese immigrants, but it did not prevent them from coming to Canada. For manyof these poor Chinese laborers, they could earn more money there than in China.They were willing to borrow the money to pay for the overseas trip and the headtax. The Canadian government raised the head tax to $100 in 1900, then to $500 in 1903. The Canadian government passed its mostrestrictive immigration law in 1923. That year, the Chinese Immigration Actprevented all Chinese except officers, merchants, and students from enteringCanada. The Act was the result of pressure from anti-Asian groups.

During the 24-year period, only 44 Chinese entered Canada officially.
