May 24, 1960: RCMP raided Chinese premises across Canada, investigating alleged illegal immigration and the use of false identities by "paper sons". This an investigation in collaboration with the Hong Kong police. This controversial operation targeted individuals believed to have entered Canada using fraudulent documents. The raids caused significant fear and disruption within Chinese Canadian communities. In response to the findings and the complex situation of undocumented individuals, the Canadian government introduced the Chinese Adjustment Statement Program later in 1960. This amnesty program allowed those who had entered illegally to declare their true identities and regularize their status without penalty. By July 1970, approximately 11,569 individuals had successfully adjusted their status through this initiative.
