List of Chinese immigrant groups in Canada

In the first 30 years of the 20th century, Canadian immigrants experienced a rapid climax. From 1950 s, it began to grow slowly. 2 1 century, the proportion of immigrants increases by one percentage point every five years. After 20 15, Canada will receive more than 300,000 immigrants every year. The government predicts that the number of immigrants will increase 1 10,000 in the next three years.

Why do immigrants occupy such an important position in Canada?

In addition to economic and cultural factors, the low birth rate is also an important reason. According to the results of the census, the fertility rate in Canada is 1.6, which means that every Canadian woman has 1.6 children on average. However, to maintain the stability and natural replacement of a country's population, the fertility rate must reach 2.65,438+0. According to this figure, if immigrants are not accepted, Canada's population will enter a negative growth in 20 years. During the five years from 20 1 1 to 20 16, the population of Canada increased by 5.9%, and 60% came from immigrants. According to the current trend, in 10, 80% of Canada's population growth will be contributed by immigrants.

The importance of immigrating to Canada is self-evident. Regardless of the demographic structure, economy and culture, immigration must be a long-term basic national policy of Canada.

Which city has the most immigrants?

Canada is a country with extremely unbalanced economic development, and its main economic development and population are concentrated in several big cities. For example, we mentioned 5.8 million people in Toronto, 4 million people in Montreal and 2.4 million people in Vancouver.

These big cities with concentrated population and developed economy are also the favorite places for immigrants. Among the three major cities, immigrants in 20 16 years account for 46. 1% of the population of Toronto, 40.8% of the population of Vancouver and 23.4% of the population of Montreal. In other words, in Toronto and Vancouver, nearly half of the people are immigrants. Compared with new york, which is also famous for its internationalization and diversity, the proportion of immigrants is 37%.

On the streets of Toronto and Vancouver, you will wonder if you have reached the "window of the world" in Shenzhen. China, Indians, Filipinos and Vietnamese all have their own strong communities. Not only is the race pure, but the culture is more pure. From clothing to food, from temples to music, the local characteristics are completely preserved. Therefore, in a pluralistic society like the world, no immigrant will feel excluded, because back to the previous generation, almost every face you can see is the offspring of immigrants.

Where are the immigrants from China concentrated?

How many China people are there in Canada? Now we finally have an accurate number: 1, 769, 195. (1.76 million 9 1.95 people)

The number of ethnic Chinese accounts for 5. 1% of the total population of China, ranking seventh among all ethnic groups. The top six are Canadians, Britons, Scots, French, Irish and Germans. In the United States, the proportion of Chinese is less than 1%.

Chinese are a group of people in Canada except European, and they play an important role in all aspects of society. Maybe you will ask, why is 5% so important?

Don't forget that Canada's development is uneven. China people also develop with the economic development. Few Chinese can take root in border areas and poverty-stricken areas, and most Chinese are concentrated in several big cities.

Among the cities with the largest number of Chinese residents, Toronto ranks first with 700,000 Chinese; Vancouver, the second place, is 500 thousand short of hundreds of people (plus international students, accompanying parents, work visas, visiting relatives, the total is likely to reach 600 thousand)

Montreal and Calgary are both in the early scale of 654.38 million+,and Edmonton, Ottawa and Winnipeg are also cities where Chinese live in concentrated communities. Chinese in these seven cities account for nearly 90% of the total Chinese in Canada, while Chinese in Toronto and Vancouver account for 68% of the national total. It can be seen that the distribution of Chinese is extremely concentrated.

Among them, Vancouver is the most striking. Although the number of Chinese is 200,000 less than that of Toronto, the proportion of Chinese population has reached an astonishing 2 1%! Moreover, Vancouver is an urban group. In Richmond, Greater Vancouver, the proportion of Chinese is even close to 50%, which is dubbed as "occupied area". This has formed a spectacle. A Chinese city has developed on the North American continent, with rows of Chinese restaurants, shopping malls and schools, Chinese plaques all over the street and Chinese dialects all over the ear.

It is normal that the proportion of economic immigrants is high.

According to the results of the 20 16 census, about 60% of the new immigrants, including the main applicants, spouses and accompanying children, immigrated through economic projects. Among them, nearly 48% immigrated through the skilled migration program, and more than 27.3% immigrated through the provincial nomination program. In addition, nearly 30% of new immigrants immigrated to Canada through family reunion projects; About 10% of immigrants belong to refugees. According to the report, Canada has three goals in choosing immigrants: strengthening and promoting economic development; Family reunion; Fulfill international obligations and humanitarian traditions.

From the 1980s to the early 1990s, there was little difference in the proportion of economic immigrants and family reunion immigrants in Canada, and the proportion of refugees was higher. From about 1994, the trend of economic migration and family reunion migration parted ways, the proportion of refugees gradually declined, and the high proportion of economic migration became the norm.

In recent years, the Canadian government has paid more and more attention to immigrants who serve the economy, such as giving priority to candidates who have jobs in Canada and giving priority to young candidates with strong language skills and Canadian education and experience, because the government believes that these people can easily find good jobs in Canada.
