Some people migrated to Canada, enticed by British Columbia Premier James
Douglas or by the 1910 immigration campaign by Canada's Clifford Sifton.
Sifton and Citizenship and Immigration Canada did not anticipate that black
farmers would file for homesteads in the Canadian Prairies and tried to turn
them back. Unable to do so under the law of the time, Sifton and the
Canadian government instead sent immigration representatives to US Southern
states to deter black farmers from applying and also went on to implement
racist immigration policies that were not lifted for decades. In 1962,
following the Canadian Bill of Rights, Canada changed its immigration policy
to allow persons of color to migrate to Canada again. Violet King Henry,
the first black Canadian woman lawyer, was part of the senior team that
changed Canadian policy and was descended from black pioneers to Amber
Valley, Alberta, a landmark black community in Canada. | z*****i
