Canadians
Canadians (French: Canadiens) are people identified
with the country of Canada. This connection may be Canadians
residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most
Canadians, many (or all) of these connections exist and
are collectively the source of their being Canadian.

Canadian independence from the United Kingdom
grew gradually over the course of many years following
the formation of the Canadian Confederation in 1867.
World War I and World War II in particular, gave rise
to a desire among Canadians to have their country
recognized as a fully-fledged sovereign state with a
distinct citizenship. Legislative independence was
established with the passage of the Statute of
Westminster 1931, the Canadian Citizenship Act of
1946 took effect on January 1, 1947, and full Map of the Canadian diaspora in the world

Between 1815 and 1850, some 800,000 immigrants came to the colonies of British North America,
mainly from the British Isles as part of the Great Migration of Canada.[31] These new arrivals included
some Gaelic-speaking Highland Scots displaced by the Highland Clearances to Nova Scotia.[32] The
Great Famine of Ireland of the 1840s significantly increased the pace of Irish immigration to Prince
Edward Island and the Province of Canada, with over 35,000 distressed individuals landing in
Toronto in 1847 and 1848.[33][34] Descendants of Francophone and Anglophone northern Europeans
who arrived in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries are often referred to as Old Stock Canadians.[35][36]
Beginning in the late 1850s, the immigration of Chinese into the Colony of Vancouver Island and
Colony of British Columbia peaked with the onset of the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush.[37] The Chinese
Immigration Act eventually placed a head tax on all Chinese immigrants, in hopes of discouraging
Chinese immigration after completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway.[38] Additionally, growing
South Asian immigration into British Columbia during the early 1900s[39] led to the Continuous
journey regulation act of 1908 which indirectly halted Indian immigration to Canada, as later
evidenced by the infamous 1914 Komagata Maru incident.
The population of Canada has consistently risen, doubling approximately every 40 years, since the
establishment of the Canadian Confederation in 1867.[41] In the mid-to-late 19th century, Canada had
a policy of assisting immigrants from Europe, including an estimated 100,000 unwanted "Home
Children" from Britain.[42] Block settlement communities were established throughout western
Canada between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some were planned and others were
spontaneously created by the settlers themselves.[43] Canada was now receiving a large number of
European immigrants, predominantly Italians, Germans, Scandinavians, Dutch, Poles, and
Ukrainians.[44]
Legislative restrictions on immigration (such as the Continuous journey regulation
and Chinese Immigration Act) that had favoured British and other European immigrants were
amended in the 1960s, opening the doors to immigrants from all parts of the world.[45] While the
1950s had still seen high levels of immigration by Europeans, by the 1970s immigrants were
increasingly Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Jamaican, and Haitian.[46] During the late 1960s and early
1970s, Canada received many American Vietnam War draft dissenters.[47] Throughout the late 1980s
and 1990s, Canada's growing Pacific trade brought with it a large influx of South Asians, who tended
to settle in British Columbia.[48] Immigrants of all backgrounds tend to settle in the major urban

According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, there are three main classifications for
immigrants: Family class (persons closely related to Canadian residents), Economic class (admitted
on the basis of a point system that accounts for age, health and labour-market skills required for cost
effectively inducting the immigrants into Canada's labour market) and Refugee class (those seeking
protection by applying to remain in the country by way of the Canadian immigration and refugee
law).[59] In 2008, there were 65,567 immigrants in the family class, 21,860 refugees, and 149,072
economic immigrants amongst the 247,243 total immigrants to the country.[17] Canada resettles over
one in 10 of the world's refugees[60] and has one of the highest per-capita immigration rates in the
world.[61]

As of a 2010 report by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, there were 2.8 million Canadian citizens
abroad.[62] This represents about 8% of the total Canadian population. Of those living abroad, the
United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, China, Lebanon, United Arab Emirates, and
Australia have the largest Canadian diaspora. Canadians in the United States constitute the greatest
single expatriate community at over 1 million in 2009, representing 35.8% of all Canadians
abroad.[63] Under current Canadian law, Canada does not restrict dual citizenship, but Passport
Canada encourages its citizens to travel abroad on their Canadian passport so that they can access
Canadian consular services.[64]

Culture
Canadian culture is primarily a Western culture, with influences by First Nations and other cultures.
It is a product of its ethnicities, languages, religions, political, and legal system(s). Canada has been
shaped by waves of migration that have combined to form a unique blend of art, cuisine, literature,
humour, and music.[71] Today, Canada has a diverse makeup of nationalities and constitutional
protection for policies that promote multiculturalism rather than cultural assimilation.[72] In Quebec,
cultural identity is strong, and many French-speaking commentators speak of a Quebec culture
distinct from English Canadian culture.[73] However, as a whole, Canada is a cultural mosaic: a
collection of several regional, indigenous, and ethnic subcultures.[74][75]
Canadian government policies such as official bilingualism; publicly funded health care; higher and
more progressive taxation; outlawing capital punishment; strong efforts to eliminate poverty; strict
gun control; the legalizing of same-sex marriage, pregnancy terminations, euthanasia and cannabis
are social indicators of Canada's political and cultural values.[76][77] American media and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadians 5/20
10/5/21, 4:01 PM Canadians - Wikipedia
The Constitution Act, 1867 was designed to meet the growing calls of
Canadians for autonomy from British rule, while avoiding the overly strong decentralization that
contributed to the Civil War in the United States.[84] The compromises made by the Fathers of
Confederation set Canadians on a path to bilingualism, and this in turn contributed to an acceptance
of diversity.[85][86]
The Canadian Forces and overall civilian participation in the First World War and Second World War
helped to foster Canadian nationalism,[87][88] however, in 1917 and 1944, conscription crisis'
highlighted the considerable rift along ethnic lines between Anglophones and Francophones.[89] As a
result of the First and Second World Wars, the Government of Canada became more assertive and less
deferential to British authority.[90] With the gradual loosening of political ties to the United Kingdom
and the modernization of Canadian immigration policies, 20th-century immigrants with African,
Caribbean and Asian nationalities have added to the Canadian identity and its culture.[91] The
multiple-origins immigration pattern continues today, with the arrival of large numbers of
immigrants from non-British or non-French backgrounds.[92]
Multiculturalism in Canada was adopted as the official policy of the government during the
premiership of Pierre Trudeau in the 1970s and 1980s.[93] The Canadian government has often been
described as the instigator of multicultural ideology, because of its public emphasis on the social
importance of immigration.[94] Multiculturalism is administered by the Department of Citizenship
and Immigration and reflected in the law through the Canadian Multiculturalism Act[95] and section
27 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.[96]

Religion
The 2011 Canadian census reported that 67.3% of Canadians identify Catholic (38.7%)
as being Christians; of this number, Catholics make up the largest Other Christian (28.6%)
group, accounting for 38.7 percent of the population.[97] The largest Non-religious (23.9%)
Protestant denomination is the United Church of Canada Islam (3.2%)
(accounting for 6.1% of Canadians); followed by Anglicans (5.0%), Hinduism (1.5%)
and Baptists (1.9%).[97] About 23.9% of Canadians declare no Sikhism (1.4%)
religious affiliation, including agnostics, atheists, humanists, and
Buddhism (1.1%)
other groups.[97] The remaining are affiliated with non-Christian
Judaism (1.0%)
religions, the largest of which is Islam (3.2%), followed by Hinduism
Other religions (0.6%)
(1.5%), Sikhism (1.4%), Buddhism (1.1%), and Judaism (1.0%).[97]
The earliest documentation of Jewish presence in Canada occurs in the 1754 British Army records
from the French and Indian War.[112] In 1760, General Jeffrey Amherst, 1st Baron Amherst attacked
and won Montreal for the British. In his regiment there were several Jews, including four among his
officer corps, most notably Lieutenant Aaron Hart who is considered the father of Canadian
Jewry.[112] The Islamic, Jains, Sikh, Hindu, and Buddhist communities—although small—are as old as
the nation itself. The 1871 Canadian Census (first "Canadian" national census) indicated thirteen
Muslims among the populace,[113] while the Sikh population stood at approximately 5,000 by
1908.[114] The first Canadian mosque was constructed in Edmonton, in 1938, when there were
approximately 700 Muslims in Canada.[115] Buddhism first arrived in Canada when Japanese
immigrated during the late 19th century.[116] The first Japanese Buddhist temple in Canada was built
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadians 7/20
10/5/21, 4:01 PM Canadians - Wikipedia
in Vancouver in 1905.[117] The influx of immigrants in the late 20th century, with Sri Lankan,
Japanese, Indian and Southeast Asian customs, has contributed to the recent expansion of the Jain,
Sikh, Hindu, and Buddhist communities.[118]
Languages
In Canada, as elsewhere in the world of European colonies, the frontier of European exploration and
settlement tended to be a linguistically diverse and fluid place, as cultures using different languages
met and interacted. The need for a common means of communication between the indigenous
inhabitants and new arrivals for the purposes of trade, and (in some cases) intermarriage, led to the
development of Mixed languages.[129] Languages like Michif, Chinook Jargon, and Bungi creole
tended to be highly localized and were often spoken by only a small number of individuals who were
frequently capable of speaking another language.[130] Plains Sign Talk—which functioned originally as
a trade language used to communicate internationally and across linguistic borders—reached across
Canada, the United States, and into Mexico.[131]

b. All citizens of Canada are classified as "Canadians" as defined by Canada's nationality laws.
However, "Canadian" as an ethnic group has since 1996 been added to census questionnaires for
possible ancestral origin or descent. "Canadian" was included as an example on the English
questionnaire and "Canadien" as an example on the French questionnaire.[66] "The majority of
respondents to this selection are from the eastern part of the country that was first settled.
Respondents generally are visibly European (Anglophones and Francophones), however no-
longer self identify with their ethnic ancestral origins. This response is attributed to a multitude or
generational distance from ancestral lineage.
