How did the 1960's changes in immigrant laws effect the immigrant population?

In Canada immigrants are called First Generation Canadians because once they get citizenship they have all the rights and duties of Canadians whose family have been here for many generations. The first effect would be the massive increase in First Generation Canadians. The next would be where they were from. Changes in our immigration laws in the 1960s and through to today have resulted in most first generation Canadians being from Asia. Previously we had restrictions on immigration from Asia. With the large scale immigration, as it has been in the past, came new cultures. Canada does not force it's culture onto new Canadians, they can and do keep their own and that is much easier with larger numbers.

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.
