Book Chapter
The Japanese Canadians and World War II
2013
Overview
The history of Japanese immigration to Canada is similar to that of the United States, with the peak years being the decade of 1900 to 1910. For both countries the year 1907 represented the heaviest single year of immigration.¹ In those days there was little awareness among the immigrants of any national boundary; to them the land across the Pacific was simply “America.” In 1977 the Japanese Canadians celebrated the centennial of the arrival of the first known Japanese settler.² At the time of World War II, 23,149 persons of Japanese ancestry lived in Canada; in the continental United States
