South Asians began arriving in British Columbia (BC) in significant numbers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly during the period from 1900 to 1910. Many were Punjabi Sikhs who came to work in forestry, agriculture, and on the Canadian Pacific Railway. The community faced challenges such as discrimination and restrictive Immigration policies, but they established a lasting presence in the region. Over the decades, immigration from South Asia has continued, contributing to the multicultural fabric of BC.
