Main distribution

In 2001, almost 75% of the Chinese population lived in Toronto or Vancouver. The Chinese population accounts for 17% of Vancouver's population and 9% of Toronto's population.

Among the Chinese who immigrated to Canada in 2000/2001, more than half claimed that the reason for settling was that their relatives and friends had already settled in Canada. About 25 per cent claimed they came to Toronto for career prospects, while many moved to Vancouver because of its pleasant climate.
