19 Facts About Canadian Sikhism

Canadian Sikhism is a world religion with 27 million followers worldwide, with majority of their population in Punjab, India.

Canadian Sikhism was amongst a group of Sikh officers who arrived in Vancouver on board Empress of India in 1897.

However, the Canadian Sikhism Government did not prevent the use of the illegal scare tactics being used to monitor immigration and prevent Sikhs from seeking employment, and this soon resulted in the cessation of all Indian immigration to Canada.

The Canadian Sikhism Government passed two laws, one providing that an immigrant had to have 200 dollars, a steep increase from the previous requirement of 20 dollars, the other authorizing the Minister of the Interior to prohibit entry into Canada to people not arriving from their birth-country by continuous journey and through tickets purchased before leaving the country of their birth or citizenship.

Canadian Sikhism initially wanted to circumvent these laws by hiring a boat to sail from Calcutta to Vancouver.
