WWW.AGRM.ORGMAYJUNE 2016 13 A Peek at Canadas Numbers The Great White North becomes less and less white Canada is home to 6.26 million visible minorities or 19.1 percent of the population according to 2011 data the most recent available. A large portion of this group is South Asian Chinese or black. Of these visible minorities 30.9 percent were born in Canada and 65.1 percent were born outside the country and came to live in Canada as immigrants. By 2031 the population of visible minorities is expected to grow to 30.6 percent with South Asian and Chinese immigrants driving much that growth. The cities of Vancouver and Toronto are expected to become majority-minority cities with three out of five people 60 percent belonging to a visible minority group by then. This is a huge shift for the country as just 50 years ago the visible minority population was only 2 percent and the majority of immigrants were from Europe.
