Most geographically concentrated ethnic groups
Some ethnic/ancestry groups where a majority live in one region (and overrepesentation compared to general population).
Haitian Total population: 165,100 86.7% in Quebec (x 3.74) Jamaican Total population: 309,485 83.1% in Ontario (x 2.17) Sri Lankan Total population: 152,595 81.4% in Ontario (x 2.13) Pakistani Total popiulation: 215,560 69.2% in Ontario (x 1.81) Portuguese Total population: 482,605 67.3% in Ontario (x 1.76) North African origins Total population: 355,040 63.4% in Quebec (x 2.73) Italian Total population: 1,587,970 58.7% in Ontario (x 1.53) Jewish Total population: 391,665 57.9% in Ontario (x 1.51) East Indian Total population: 1,374,715 56.3% in Ontario (x 1.47) Icelandic Total population: 101,795 55.7% in Prairies (x 3.04) Iranian Total population: 210,405 55.6% in Ontario (x 1.45) Greek Total population: 271,405 54.7% in Ontario (x 1.43) Finnish Total population: 143,640 53.4% in Ontario (x 1.39) Norwegian Total population: 463,275 52.9% in Prairies (x 2.89) Ukrainian Total population: 1,359,655 51% in Prairies (x 2.79) Everything is from the 2016 census, except the Jewish population which uses a combined religion/ethnic definition from 2011 NHS. |
I have no idea where to get the data but certain groups that would be interesting:
Philippinos: high concentration in Manitoba? Algerians-Moroccans-Tunisians: high concentration in Quebec |

http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-re...NAMEE=&VNAMEF= Filipinos are well represented in Manitoba but more live in Ontario and BC. North African groups added. Since the individual groups are pretty small nationally I just put in the combined group. |
without adjustment for proportional representation relative to the overall population, these figures are not very interesting. it stands to reason that in most cases Ontario would take the lion's share of a given ethnic group, and that seems to be the case here except for places where the incoming official language spoken is French (Haitian, North African, etc.).

Yes, percentage of the population would be more interesting than just total numbers, especially if they were broken down by individual CMAs.
I have a feeling that Winnipeg would be tops for the number of Philippinos. |
Japanese
Total population: 92,920 44.4% in BC (x 3.36) Metis Total population: 587,540 44.5% in Prairies (x 2.43) First Nations Total population: 977,230 39.1% in Prairies (x 2.14) |

As an example, I was at a Tim Horton's in north Winnipeg on Saturday evening... the place was maybe half full but every customer in the place was Filipino except for me and my mom, as well one other white person sitting at another table of otherwise Filipino people. This is a normal sight throughout NW Winnipeg. There is no other ethnic group in Winnipeg with the same sheer presence as Filipino people. |

^ I did not know there were that many Iranians in North Vancouver... I always associate Iranians in Canada with Toronto.
|
The North Shore of Vancouver is about 10% Iranian I believe.

I actually chose to live in Lonsdale because I think they're a great, kind culture. The exact opposite of American propaganda. And as a German there's no ethno-suburb for me, besides Deep Cove, sort of, I guess. Here's what Lonsdale looks like when you search for Persian food, and it's omitting a few places: https://i.imgur.com/7y23Zdf.png |
I've heard from a few people that Lonsdale reminds them of Tehran too...

North Van may be the most visibly Persian place in Canada (Richmond Hill may have more, but they aren't the most 'visible' immigrant group and the Chinese population is larger).

Here's a 24 hour shopping strip in North York, every store and almost all of the clientele here are Iranian. They call this area Tehranto lol:

West Van (i.e. west of North Van) is also very Persian.
They were the classic wealthy immigrants before Hong Kongers started coming in the 90s. |
Pretty much every ethnic group that has a sizable presence in Vancouver has one in Toronto, but there are many groups in Toronto that are barely visible in Van.
Quite different from the situation in the US, where the #2 immigrant hub (Los Angeles) has a lot of groups that are far more represented in sheer numbers than in the NYC area (not just the obvious Mexican presence, but also Armenians, Iranians, Vietnamese etc.) |

Both Cambridge Ontario and Cambridge, Massachusetts have big Portuguese populations.
