Asian Immigrants in Canada

Canada welcomes immigrants from all over the world. In 2011, a report about immigration trends in Canada showed that Asians accounted for 45% of the country’s total immigrant population.

According to the 2019 National Opinion Poll, 54% of Canadians agreed that the country should look towards Asia to meet their talent deficit. However, immigrants from all Asian countries are not considered equal.

Amidst the rising tensions between Canada and China, 6 out of 10 Canadians believe that they are less receptive to Chinese talent.

In comparison, Canadians are more in favor of STEM qualified immigrants from South Korea (76%), India (73%) and the Philippines (69%).

From January to October 2018, almost 25% of the Canadian permanent resident permits issued were given to Indian immigrants.
