The sad experience of many Japanese Canadians was to be transported to internment camps. This was done because many in the government, as well as a fair portion of the Canadian population, felt that the Japanese Canadians posed a threat to national secerity (ie: spies, etc). Approx. 25,000 Japanese were believed to have been moved to camps located in British Columbia. Men were generally sent to work on farms or on road work while women and children were kept together. Japanese-Americans faced a similar situation, though it is interesting to note that German and Italian-Canadians (and German and Italian Americans) did not face similar treatment. Though the camps were closed at the end of the war, it was not until 1988 that the Canadian government officially appologized.
I think there are several good films by both Canadian and American film companies about this topic. They are worth looking up.

Why were Japanese Canadians put into an internment camps in World War 2?
Japanese Canadians were placed in internment camps during World War II primarily due to widespread fear and suspicion following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. The Canadian government, influenced by wartime hysteria and racial prejudice, viewed Japanese Canadians as potential security threats, despite the majority being Canadian citizens. As a result, around 22,000 Japanese Canadians were forcibly removed from their homes, stripped of their property and businesses, and relocated to internment camps across the country. This action was later recognized as a violation of their rights, leading to formal apologies and reparations from the Canadian government in the 1980s.
