It was oft quoted as being 49% (so I can't blame you for thinking that was correct), but thats based on an incorrect interpretation of the data. Of the 2,476,565 people who responded, 1,237,720 (49.9%) were indeed foreign-born citizens, but only 1,184,235 people (47.8%) were born in Canada. The other 54,610 people (2.2%) were non-permanent foreign residents.
