Question

Canadian People

The majority of Canadians (82%) live in urban centers of the country. Most of the Canadian families have roots in England and France, as the French and British colonized the country and thus many families immigrated into Canada. About one third of the Canadian refer to themselves as Canadian. Almost 40% of the Canadians belong to the English, Scottish or Irish ethnic groups and about 13% belong to the French ethnic group.

Canada has two official languages: English and French. Almost half of the population can speak both languages. The majority of Canadians speak English as first language, but French is the main language in the Quebec province. In Quebec, also almost half of the population is bilingual, which means that they are able to speak both languages fluently.

Almost 90% of all Canadians live within 160 km/100 miles of the Canada-USA border!

• Life expectancy at birth is 83 years.

• Literacy rate is 99%.

• Among the aboriginal people in Canada are the Métis, the First Nations People and the Inuit.

The indigenous people in northern Canada are called Inuit. Today, only 5 in 100 Canadians refer to themselves as belonging to the Inuk (one of the Inuit people).

The Inuit live today in modern houses but still build igloos, especially when hunting. The Inuit children go to the community’s schools, but there are no universities in the North. So, if the children decide to go on studying, they have to leave their communities and move to university cities. In the Inuit language, writing text was only begun in the 19th century. Before that they mainly used symbols for writing.
