A Portrait of Canada: · Canada is one of the most multicultural countries in the world. · Bilingualism (speaks 2 languages) is very important to Canadian society. · Cultural Diversity is recognized and celebrated.

According to the Census: 1:6 people, or 5,335,000 people have a “mother tongue” other than English or French. Over 100 languages are spoken in Canadian homes. Close to 20% of Canadians were born outside of the country.

What do you think the top five languages spoken in Canada are?

Languages spoken in Canada, in order: 1. English 2. French 3. Chinese 4. Italian 5. German 6. Punjabi 7. Spanish 187, 675 people speak one or more of the over 40 reported Aboriginal languages.

Historically, the most commonly spoken languages in Canada other than English or French were German, Italian, Ukrainian, Dutch, Polish and other European and Eastern European languages. In the last 10+ years, immigration from Asia and the Middle East has been significant.

The 2001 Census is the first time where Chinese appears as the most commonly spoken language other than English or French. 2.9% of Canadians speak Chinese as their “mother tongue”. Other language groups with significant increases include Punjabi, Arabic, Urdu, Tagalog and Tamil.

What is Multiculturalism? A society that encourages interest in many cultures rather than in only one culture. Canada is considered to be a mosaic. (Lots of different types of people making up one country)

Canada vs. USA Mosaic. “Mixed Salad” Melting Pot

What is a visible minority? A visible minority is a person or group visibly not one of the majority race in a given population In Canada, visible minorities are people who are not ‘white’

Toronto Toronto is the Canadian city with the highest percentage of visible minorities, at about 47 % It is ranked as the safest large city in North America

Why do most immigrants come to the big cities?

Immigrants come to the big cities because…. Many immigrants are sponsored by family members already living in cities Those who speak neither English nor French are attracted to cities where their language is spoken More jobs available Cities are already diverse, so many immigrants find them more welcoming
