Since the 1970s, which continent do most immigrants to Canada come from?

  1. Europe

  2. Asia

  3. Africa

  4. South America

The correct answer is: Asia

Mostly due to changes in Canadian immigration policies that prioritize skilled workers and family reunification, the majority of immigrants to Canada have come from Asia since the 1970s. This is due to the fact that many Asian countries, such as China and India, have large populations with a high number of skilled workers seeking opportunities abroad. Additionally, the ongoing conflicts and humanitarian crises in Africa and South America may also discourage immigration from these continents. While Europe has historically been a major source of immigration to Canada, its population growth and economic stability have led to a decrease in immigration in recent decades.
