Answer 1

Chinese exclusion policies in the U.S. influenced Canadian immigration policies through stricter border controls, reduced quotas, discriminatory regulations, and diplomatic tensions with China.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chinese exclusion policies in the U.S. influenced the immigration policies of Canada in two ways:

1. Stricter border controls, reduced immigration quotas, discriminatory regulations: Similar to the U.S., Canada also implemented stricter border controls and reduced immigration quotas for Chinese immigrants. In 1885, Canada imposed a $50 head tax on all Chinese immigrants entering the country to work, and this tax was later increased.
2. Diplomatic tensions, international conflicts, economic sanctions: Chinese exclusion policies in the U.S. caused diplomatic tensions between the U.S. and China, which had implications for Canada. As a result, Canada faced pressure to align its immigration policies with those of the U.S. to maintain diplomatic relations.
