The [[Chinese head tax]] was a fixed fee charged to each [[Chinese people|Chinese]] person entering [[Canada]]. The [[head tax]] was first levied after the [[Parliament of Canada|Canadian parliament]] passed the ''[[Chinese Immigration Act of 1885]]'' and was meant to discourage Chinese people from entering Canada after the completion of the [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] (CPR). The tax was abolished by the ''[[Chinese Immigration Act of 1923]]'', which outright prevented all Chinese immigration except for that of business people, clergy, educators, students, and some others.<ref name="JamesMorton">Morton, James. 1974.
