Since the 1980s, immigration has drastically increased, making the city more ethnically and linguistically
diverse. More than half of the people in Vancouver do not speak English as their first language. Almost 30%
of the city’s inhabitants are of Chinese heritage. In the 1980s, an influx of immigrants from Hong Kong in
anticipation of the transfer of sovereignty from the United Kingdom to China, combined with an increase in
immigrants from mainland China and previous immigrants from Taiwan, established in Vancouver one of
the highest concentrations of ethnic Chinese residents in North America. This arrival of Asian immigrants
continued a tradition of immigration from around the world that had established Vancouver as the
second-most popular destination for immigrants in Canada after Toronto. Other significant Asian ethnic
groups in Vancouver are Filipino, Japanese, Korean, as well as sizeable communities of Vietnamese,
Indonesians, and Cambodians.
