More than 60 per cent of Canadians think Asian immigration will positively impact the country, states a new poll, even as India, China, Philippines, Pakistan and South Korea consistently top the list of source countries for newcomers.
A majority of Canadians think that Asian technology, immigrants, culture, and economic growth will positively impact Canada in the next 10 to 20 years, according to a new study by the Asia Pacific Foundation.
The 2021 National Opinion Poll: Canada’s Generational Perspectives on Asia (2021 NOP), which surveyed 2,592 Canadian citizens and permanent residents across the country, found that Canadians across all generations believe it is important for the nation’s future to build competency about Asian culture, society, languages, protocols and religions.
Data from Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) show five of the top 10 immigrant source countries for Canada are in Asia with India, China and Philippines topping the list. Pakistan and South Korea follow.
