[edit] Ethnic groups

Note: Respondents to the 2001 Canadian Survey were free to fill in any ethnic group that applied, thus many people belong to more than one group, and the percentages from each ethnicity do not add up to 100% overall. However the most popular choice was "Canadian", and this may mean that the other figures are not reliable as a record of the relative prevalence of the various ethnic origins represented by the other choices.
When compared with the United States, Canada has a greater English, Scottish, French, Ukrainian, Asian, and American Indian presence, and a smaller German, Italian, Scandinavian, and Black proportion. Source: Statistics Canada 2001 Census
