I think that a lot of Europeans prefer Canada over the US. It offers a lot of the same benefits as the US (higher salary, nice nature etc.) while still being the closest to a European-style system you can get.
And this is anecdotal, but when it comes to holidays, or even things as research times, it seems that Canada is kinda “overrepresented” vs. the US.

From 2000?
Canada is a completely different country now.
In the past decade, Canada increased its population by more than 1/3, almost entirely with Indians.
Even if half of the Indians left tomorrow, they would still be the largest foreign born population In most of the country.

What’s drawing Vietnamese people to Louisiana specifically?
WV & Germans wouldn’t have been my guess
i live in maine and there is zero chance it’s not canada.Â
Gonna need a new color for a couple parts of Canada in 2025 lol.
It’s not France for Quebec????
Filipinos in Alaska? What the hell are
~~Polar Bears doing in Arlington, TX~~
Leopards doing in Anchorage, AK
I never knew there was a significant population of Filipino ancestry in Alaska. Neat.
The map is very outdated. France dominate in Québec now. Since the start of the 2000’s actually. You have a french person in each little village now. Its a real tsunami. We received far more french people in the last 25 years that during all of New France era
It’s surprising there’s more Italian immigration to Quebec than French immigration.
Why do the Vietnamese like Louisiana?
Wasn’t expecting Italy for Québec.
