Can Canadians understand English?

Since 1772, a large number of British immigrants have settled in Canada, living in the east coast, red river valley and southern areas of Canada. Canada is a vast and sparsely populated country. From Toronto to Vancouver, from the grasslands in the midwest to the east coast, the pronunciation of English spoken by Canadians is very different.

The official languages are English (the most widely used language in Canada) and French (mainly distributed in Quebec).

20 1 1, there are nearly 6.8 million Canadians whose mother tongue is not English or French, and the recognized regional languages include all the first national languages. Other major languages are Chinese (1, 072,555), Italian (407,490), German (409,200) and Punjabi (430,705).
