In Honor of Asian Heritage Day: Data on Asians in Canada
Statistics Canada marked Asian Heritage Month and published an infographic with interesting facts about immigration to Canada. For example, 7 of the top 10 places of birth for recent immigrants in 2016 were Asian nations: South Korea, the Philippines, India, China, Iran, Pakistan and Syria. Also, Asia was the region of birth for about half of Canada's immigrant population. Asian immigrants made up 48.1% of all immigrants in 2016.
