He was sponsored by his father Bishan Singh who in turn was graciously sponsored by his sister Rao Kaur Johal. Upon arrival to Canada, Singh was hit by a car while crossing Highway 33 and spent a number of years recovering from the accident and lived with a leg injury all his life, rarely ever complaining about any pain. Singh immigrated his family from India on July 27, 1969 to improve the quality of life for his family. He loved Canada and was a proud Canadian. Singh worked as a farm laborer until he retired at the age of 65.Singh was a very passive person who enjoyed gardening and volunteering at the Okanagan Sikh Temple.
