The Canadian peoples | Population of Canada 2017

In 2010, about 34 million people lived in Canada. As a nation, Canada has three founding peoples: Aboriginal, French and British. However, throughout the nation’s history, immigration has also played an important role in building Canadian society.

Founding peoples “Aboriginal peoples” are people whose ancestors lived in Canada before the arrival of European explorers, pioneers and settlers. The term refers to three distinct groups: First Nations (sometimes called “Indians”), Inuit and Métis. Aboriginal peoples live across Canada in their own communities as well as in cities. They have interesting cultures and make important contributions to Canadian society.

In 2010, about 34 million people lived in Canada. As a nation, Canada has three founding peoples: Aboriginal, French and British. However, throughout the nation’s history, immigration has also played an important role in building Canadian society.

“French Canadians” include Acadia's, Quebecois and smaller French-speaking communities across Canada. The Acadia's are descendants of French colonists who settled 400 years ago in what is now the Atlantic Region.

Quebecois (“Quebecois” in French) are the inhabitants of Quebec. Most are French-speaking descendants of French settlers from the 1600s and 1700s who brought with them the great traditions of French civilization. Quebecois maintain a unique identity, culture and language. In 2006, the Canadian Parliament recognized that the Quebecois form a nation within a united Canada. One million English speaking Anglo-Quebecois form an important part of Quebec society.

Most “English Canadians” are descended from the hundreds of thousands of English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish settlers, soldiers and migrants who came to Canada from the 17th to the 20th century. Generations of these pioneers helped to bring British political institutions and traditions to Canada, such as our Westminster parliamentary system, our constitutional monarchy and the common law.

Carrying on the tradition Most Canadians today were born in Canada and are the descendants of the original founding peoples. However, over the past 200 years, many newcomers have helped to build and defend this country’s way of life. Today, various ethnic and religious groups live and work in peace as proud Canadians. Until the 1970s, most immigrants came from European countries. Since then, the majority have come from Asian countries. Today, approximately 20 percent of Canadians were born outside Canada. In Toronto, Canada’s largest city, this number is over 45 percent. Immigrants like you are a valued part of Canada’s multicultural society.

Canada Cities, provinces and regions All About Canada

Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, is located on the Ottawa River on the border between Ontario and Quebec. It is Canada’s fourth largest city.

Canada has 10 provinces and three territories, each with its own capital city. These provinces and territories are commonly grouped into five regions (see Table 2.1 below).

The three largest cities in Canada are Toronto (Ontario), Montréal (Quebec) and Vancouver (British Columbia). The total population of these cities is over 10 million people (almost one-third of the Canadian population).

The population of Canada has a very uneven distribution. Due to factors related to historical settlement, climate and the economy, the majority of people live in southern Ontario and Quebec, southwest British Columbia and Alberta. Much of the north has a very low population density, mostly due to the cold climate.

Canada: A brief overview | Why People Prefer to Visit Canada?

Canada is the second largest country on earth, covering an area of 10 million square kilometres (3.9 million square miles). Three oceans border Canada: the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Atlantic Ocean in the east, and the Arctic Ocean to the north. Altogether, Canada has over 200,000 kilometres (125,000 miles) of coastline. Canada shares two borders with the United States: a very long border in the south and another long frontier in the northwest. Due to its large size, Canada has many different types of landscape. There are areas with high mountains, different types of forests, prairie grasslands and arctic tundra where the ground is permanently frozen. Canada is also home to many rivers and lakes. Like Canada’s landscapes, the climate varies across the country. In the areas where most of the population lives, there are generally four distinct seasons – summer, fall, winter and spring.

• Summer lasts from around June to September and the weather varies from warm to hot, with daytime temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius or Centigrade (68 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher. In southern Ontario and Quebec it can often be very humid.

• Fall and spring are transition seasons during which the weather becomes progressively colder or warmer and much of the annual rainfall occurs

• Winter is very cold in most places, with temperatures often well below zero degrees Celsius or Centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Snow covers the ground from around December to March or April. An exception is southwest British Columbia (including the cities of Victoria and Vancouver) where winter temperatures generally remain above zero degrees and rain is more common than snow
