The 2006 Census estimated 5.1 million individuals who belonged to a visible minority. The Employment Equity Act defines visible minorities as 'persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour’. The visible minority population has grown steadily over the last 25 years. In 1981, when data for the four Employment Equity designated groups were first derived, the estimated 1.1 million visible minorities represented 4.7% of Canada's total population. In 1991, 2.5 million people were members of the visible minority population, 9.4% of the total population. The visible minority population further increased to 3.2 million in 1996, or 11.2% of the total population. By 2001, their numbers had reached an estimated 3.9 million or 13.4% of the total population. In 2006, the visible minorities accounted for 16.2% of Canada’s total population. This map shows the percentage of visible minorities (Latin American population) by census subdivisions.

Lists visible minorities as a percentage of the total population, by census year and municipality and municipal district. Visible minorities, as defined in the federal Employment Equity Act, are "persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour".

First conducted in 1871, the Census of Canada provides a snapshot of the people living in Canada, collecting socioeconomic data to help inform public policy, decide parliamentary representation, and direct funding to resources across the country. Initially run every ten years, the quinquennial Census was introduced in 1956. Throughout its history, the Census has continued to evolve and change reflecting Canada’s political and social transformations. In this guide, variables related to finding ethnic origins, race, culture, or where a respondent is born, are listed. Also included are links to variable column definitions, individual census records (for historical censuses), publications with tables, and data files. Additional censuses include the 1870 Census of Manitoba, 1906 Census of the Northwest Provinces, and the Census of the Prairie Provinces for 1916, 1926, 1936, and 1946. This guide was created as part of the Data on Racialized and Indigenous Populations in Canada website hosted by Scholars Portal.

As of 2021, 86 percent of Canadians believed that the fact that the population includes many people of different racial backgrounds makes Canada a better country. This proportion was higher among people who had voted for the Liberal Party or the New Democratic Party (95 percent) in the 2019 federal elections, or among Green Party voters (89 percent). By contrast, 53 percent of respondents who voted for an other party disagreed, as well as almost a quarter of Conservative Party and Bloc Québecois voters.
