C.I.5 certificate of Lee Yick Chock

C.I.5 certificate issued to a Chinese subject entering Canada. This early version of the certificate was in use from 1885 to 1911. It was redesigned in 1912 to include photo identification, and to make payment or exemption from payment of the head tax more clear. The subject paid the head tax.

This record was found among the private papers of Lee Kepment, a businessman of Vancouver's Chinatown.
