The history of immigration in Vancouver is a long and varied one, dating back to the city’s early days as a British colony. From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, the city saw a large influx of immigrants from Europe, particularly from the United Kingdom, who came to work in the city’s growing logging and fishing industries. In the early 20th century, the city also saw a significant number of Asian immigrants, particularly from China and Japan, who came to work in the city’s mines and on the Canadian Pacific Railway. In recent decades, Vancouver has become a diverse and multicultural city, with immigrants from all over the world contributing to its rich cultural tapestry.
