  • 《1885年華人移民法令》(英語:Chinese Immigration Act of 1885),詳題為《限制及規管華人移民至加拿大的法令》(An Act to restrict and regulate Chinese immigration into Canada),是加拿大國會的一項法令,向所有移民到加拿大的華人徵收50加元人頭稅。該稅於1900年增加至100加元,在當時是一個很大的金額。於1903年徵收額調升至500加元,相等於一個人兩年的工資;當時不論華人移民還是加拿大人的工資都不高。後來,另有一項法令獲得通過,宣佈每艘船的每50.8噸重量,每次航程中只能帶一名華人移民到加拿大;亦即一艘508噸重的船上只可以攜帶十個華人移民抵達加拿大。 這法令於1923年由完全禁止華人移民的《1923年華人移民法令》(亦稱《排華法》)取代。 (zh)
  • Chinese Immigration Act of 1885 var en lag i Kanada från 1885, som tvingade invandrare från Kina att betala femtio dollar för att få komma in. 1900 höjdes avgiften till 100 dollar (vilket var mycket pengar på den tiden). 1903 höjdes avgiften till 500 dollar, vilket då i snitt motsvarande två årslöner. En senare lag förklarade att en kinesisk invandrare kunde endast komma för varje 50 ton på skeppet de reste med. Detta innebar att till exempel endast 10 kineser kunde anlända på ett 508-tonsskepp. (sv)
