When did Japanese-Canadians gain the right to vote?

  1. 1948

  2. 1952

  3. 1960

  4. 1975

The correct answer is: 1948

In 1948, the Japanese-Canadians were granted the right to vote. Prior to this, they had been facing discriminatory policies and laws such as the 1923 Japanese Immigration Act which effectively banned immigration from Japan. The options B, C, and D are incorrect because they are all after 1948. This shows that the Japanese-Canadians did not have the right to vote during those years and further reinforces the significance of 1948 as a turning point for their rights in Canada.
