White Canadian is an ethnic group counted in Statistics Canada reports. + "White Canadian" is one of the responses in Statistics Canada's census results concerning visible minorities (StatsCan's questions about ethnic origin do not ask a person's colour).^[2] There are separate boxes for Arabs, Latin Americans, and West Asians in Canada Census forms, but it is possible to mark more than one box.^[3] One Statistics Canada publication defines a white person as a Canadian who's ancestors originated from Europe, but not including anyone who's ancestors are from Latin America. ^[4] Motto: Ut Incepit Fidelis Sic Permanet (Latin: Loyal she began, loyal she remains) Official languages English Flower White Trillium Tree Eastern White Pine Bird Common Loon Capital Toronto Largest city Toronto Lieutenant-Governor James K.

Demographics

From the 2001 Canadian Census, White Canadians are the vast majority of the Canadian population, making up about 83 percent of all people in the country. According to the 2001 Canadian Census, 24.62 million Canadians reported themselves as white, equalling 83.06% out of the total population of 29.64 million, not including a further 270,000 (another 0.90%) who reported themselves as white and one or more other responses (e.g. Black, Chinese, South Asian etc.)^[5] Most white Canadians are of British or French descent. 9.97 million Canadians (33.64% of the total population) report themselves having British Isles ancestry, while 4.71 million Canadians of French ancestry (some 15.89% of the total population).

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the proportion of British and French immigration declined a bit, and the Canadian government developed a racist immigration policy only allowing immigrants from Europe to enter Canada. The government began to sponsor immigrants from Scandinavia, Germany, Ukraine, and parts of Eastern Europe to fill up empty farm land in the West. Also, many immigrants from Italy, Ireland, and Poland moved to Ontario and Quebec's mining and industrial cities. Italian and German immigrants were at some point the largest sources of immigrants for Canada.

- Compared to other ethnic groups, white Canadians are more aged than other racial groups. Around 18.69% are under the age of 14, whereas those over 65 number 13.11%.^{[citation needed]} For example, one in three white Canadians are under 14 years of age, reflecting a much lower median age.^[8] One of the main reasons why the population of white Canadians is ageing is due to their fertility rate (1.5 children per woman), which is far below the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman. However, they tend to have more children than those of East Asian Canadian heritage.^[9] + Compared to other visible groups, white Canadians are more aged.

In term of getting a college degree, Asian Canadians were three times as likely as white Canadians to earn a degree while White Canadians were three times as likely as Aboriginal Canadians to earn a degree.^[13] A different study found that this income difference only applied to non-whites born outside Canada.^[14] An Asian Canadian is a Canadian of Asian ancestry. ...
