As someone that’s lived in some major Canadian cities I somehow doubt this. Do you have the source?

Edit: I’ll leave it for posterity’s sake, but my comment is mistaken.
I wonder how far this data goes back? So many Dutch and Ukrainian people in Alberta. I mean, the entire country is made up of white settlers.
Philippians makes sense. Probs Indians and Chinese after that.

UK as the primary country of origin in Nova Scotia seems incorrect. I could see it province wide, maybe, probably not, but it’s at least plausible, but Halifax county it most definitely is not.

I like how France and India are basically the same colour.
Canada has been an immigration hub for people around the world for the past several decades now and this can be reflected on this map across the nation. As of the 2021 census, the most common foreign-born countries of origin in Canada were:
1. India (898k)
2. Philippines (720k)
3. China (716k)
4. United Kingdom (537k)
5. Pakistan (256k)
6. United States (234k)
7. Hong Kong (214k)
8. Italy (204k)
9. Iran (183k)
10. Vietnam (182k)

This is fake. If you’ve ever been to Vancouver you’d know this for sure.

There should be a lot more pink in this map

Why are these Portuguese people in Northern BC?

this map is going to change like crazy in the next census.

As someone who lives in the Northwest Territories and has spent time in Nunavut as well I can confirm there is a surprisingly large Filipino population.

How many filipinos are there in each of the divisions of the purple territories? There’s already not a lot of people there so I imagine there’s some places with less than 50. Maybe even just a couple of families somewhere
Just to be clear, I mean the subdivisions of Nunavut and the NW Territories

I guess Filipinos are actually taking over
ramriot on
It’s an interesting map, but assuming it’s just currently living individuals in sone cases it could represent a tiny percentage of a given territory or even only a handful of individuals.

I’m actually really *really* surprised it isn’t all green lmfao. Looks like all the people on social media that claimed they’d run to Canada if the orange dumbass got voted in… didn’t make it all the way.
No but seriously, I’m surprised it isn’t because of how close the two countries are, physically and culturally.

As a Newfoundlander; the idea that there’s a swath of Mexicans living in the remotest and craggiest parts of Newfoundland is awesome and 😂

I’d reckon my region has gone from UK to Nigeria? There was a lot of Indians for awhile but they’ve cleared out and seem to have been replaced by Africans and Asian people

Looks like all of the Americans who claim they’re going move to Canada after each election are full of it.

Mexicans in Newfoundland? Maybe in southern Manitoba if they are actually Mennonites from a northern Mexican colony.

In short, Chinese and Indians dominate the cities, while Filipinos dominate the countryside.

What’s up with Haida Gwaii?

Phillipines be like ‘fuck this heat I’m gonna go get frosty bitches!”

I call bullshit on India being an extremely tiny part of the map. They are extremely common in Edmonton, and from what I hear just about every city across the country.

Surprising that the Irish population is too small to be counted.
