With over 20 percent of the population foreign-born, and with more than 250 ethnic origins, Canada is one of the world\u2019s most multicultural societies. Canada\u2019s ethnic and religious diversity continues to grow alongside immigration.<\/p>\n
Yet how well is Canada\u2019s model of multiculturalism and citizenship working and how well are Canadians, whatever their ethnic or religious origin, doing? Will Canada\u2019s relative success compared to other countries continue or are there emerging fault lines in Canadian society?<\/p>\n
Multiculturalism in Canada: Evidence and Anecdote<\/i> undertakes an extensive review of the available data from Statistics Canada, Citizenship and Immigration Canada operational statistics, employment equity and other sources to answer these questions and provide an integrated view covering economic outcomes, social indicators, and political and public service participation.<\/p>\n
This deck summarizes the key national findings, showing both common trends and regional differences.<\/p>\n
