    Pakistani Canadians

    Pakistani Canadians are Canadians whose family origins trace back to Pakistan. Migration to Canada from what would become Pakistan remained limited until the mid-20th century. It then grew steadily as Canada reformed its immigration system and opened pathways for skilled migration (see Economic Immigration to Canada) and family reunification. (See Immigration Policy in Canada.) According to the 2021 census, 303,260 people in Canada reported Pakistani ethnic or cultural origin (0.83 per cent of the national population). The community reflects a range of ethnic, linguistic and religious backgrounds. Pakistani Canadians are mainly in major urban centres including Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver and Edmonton.

    Culture of Early Indigenous Peoples in Canada

    The arrival of early Indigenous peoples in Canada has varying explanations both outside of and within the field of archaeology (see History of Early Indigenous Peoples in Canada). Many Indigenous Oral Traditions state that Indigenous peoples have been on the land that is now known as North America since time immemorial. There is a debate within the field of archaeology on the first arrival of early Indigenous peoples, with dates ranging from as recently as 12,000 years ago to as long ago as 130,000 years ago.
