In December 2006, Environics Research conducted a major national survey of Muslims and multiculturalism in Canada, as part of its ongoing syndicated FOCUS CANADA research program. The focus of this research is on the presence and experience of Muslims in this country, and draws direct comparisons with similar research conducted in 13 other countries by the Pew Research Center (many of the same research questions were used to provide for direct country-to-country comparisons). The Pew research included Muslim over-samples in Great Britain, France, Germany and Spain. Some of the topics covered in this research: General attitudes about immigration in Canada, personal contact with different ethnic groups (including Muslims), perceived discrimination against ethnic groups, general attitudes towards Muslims, concerns about Muslims and terrorism, Islamic identity and extremism among Muslims, integration of Muslims and other ethnic minorities into Canadian society, Canadian foreign policy and the mission in Afghanistan Muslims, experience of being Muslim in Canada, concern about the future of Muslims in Canada, self-identification within the Muslim community, the role and rights of women in ethnic communities, Islamic identity and extremism among Muslims, integration of Muslims and other ethnic minorities into Canadian society, Canadian foreign policy and the mission in Afghanistan. Please note, the cases in this dataset are comprised only of Muslim respondents.
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 (Arab population) by census subdivisions.
