Common misconception. Englilshmen did not "found" Canada. The French-settled nucleus was inherited by Great Britain and then further populated by American colonists. Not politically correct of me at all.
Since Indians is not the PC term I read zuni's comment to read as people from India, not Native American. And since it has been hundreds of years and hundreds of millions of people later since Europeans and Asians started spreading out to parts unknown (later called the Americas and Caribbean islands), calling anyone not of Native American decent foreigners or immigrants is ignorance at it's best.
The migrant worker program brings lots of Jamaicans to Canada in the summer to work in vineyards and orchards. Might not be the whole story but its gotta be at least part of it.
Jamaicans as a former British colony was a preferential immigrant group until the 1970s. In addition many Jamaicans moved to the UK after independence and then later moved to Canada for better opportunities..
Since they live in Canada, wouldn't they be Native Canadians? If you are going to make the claim that the term Native Americans covers all of the Americas, then pretty much everyone in the western hemisphere is a Native American.
First Nations people are not immigrants or foreigners, and not everyone born in the Western Hemisphere is a Native American, many people have not a single ancestor, (say from 1,000 years ago) who lived in the Americas.
How long do one's ancestors have to inhabit an area to be considered native? Its probable that several waves of people came across the land bridge into Canada, so even the First Nations were probably not really "first".
Correction they WERE foreigners, currently however they're dead. And their descendants like me are not foreigners, my family has been here for 400 years, this is my country.
I don't think those subpopulations left any descendants, or at very least left zero sign of continuation of cultural traits in the native peoples of that area. Norse settlement in both Baffin Island and Newfoundland were marginal outposts of the marginal colony of Greenland. Pretty sure that the site in Baffin Island was just a temporary trade depot, and the site in Newfoundland was a couple of families and lasted 50 years tops.
If you live in Vancouver you will have to speak Mandarin to survive. Basic needs like shelter, a job and personal space will be taken from you by hoards of Chinese immigrants. Sorry that your Prime Minister sucks Canada. Your best bet is to merge with America.
You're going to have to rig it so that answers like "England" and "Scotland" do not come up empty. Have "United Kingdom" or it's wrong is not copacetic.
Two prominent Portuguese waves contributed to the high amount of Portuguese living in Canada today. First wave occurred in the late 1960's - mid 1970's, and peaked in 1973 (or 1974?) where in that one calendar year, over 16,000 Portuguese immigrants immigrated to Canada. A large number of these were baby boomers so a lot of them are still alive. The second wave occurred in the late 1980's and possibly extending into the early 1990's. I have not researched what events in Portugal lead to the mass emigration away from Portugal so I cannot comment further. Hope this helps!
A very high proportion of portuguese born canadians are in the golden horseshoe and Montréal metropolitan region. It's unlikely to meet them outside of those urban areas.
And where is Ukraine? About 1.2 million of Ukrainians or Ukrainian descendants live in Canada, and this number is even bigger than the Chinese figure above. Poor test...
I was also a bit surprised at that, but I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't far off the list. Jiaozira kinda explained it to me on this quiz: the Bangladeshi population in Canada still isn't huge but it's growing very rapidly.
