Chinese Canadian

Chinese Canadians are individuals of Chinese ancestry who live in or originate from Canada. They represent one of the country's diverse ethnic groups and have contributed significantly to Canada's social, cultural, and economic fabric. Chinese migration to Canada began in the 19th century, driven by reasons such as employment opportunities and family reunification. Today, Chinese Canadians are active in various fields, maintain cultural traditions, and are part of Canada's multicultural identity. Their experience encompasses both historical challenges, like discrimination and exclusion, and ongoing efforts toward integration, recognition, and community development.
