It's also worth mentioning that in Canada, and especially on the west coast, many Indo-Canadians came over as British subjects (some even before Confederation) and benefited from being citizens of the British Empire from day 1. I'm not sure what percentage of Indo-Canadians are currently descendants from that original immigration wave, but it did certainly help them set up communities and safety nets for future Indian immigrants.
