I really do not know anything about Mauritians in Canada. My great grand parents arrived in Vancouver, B.C. Canada in about 1908. They came with and worked for the GIRODY family. That is who signed their passports as well.
It does not sound like there were very many Mauritians in the area at that time. Nobody understood their french. They spoke French Creole. They were pretty much the only colored people in the area where they lived.
