"This program examines the experiences of Chinese, Japanese and South Asian immigrants in Canada. These people ventured to Canada for various reasons including work, escaping war and poverty in their homeland and the lure of a young growing nation.

This program investigates the 'push' and 'pull' factors that influenced their arrival here and the problems, including racism, they encountered."--Container.
