Original Table: Source: Statistics Canada, 2011 National Household Survey, Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 99-010-X2011029.

The footnotes in the table are represented in brackets. The first footnote does not appear in the table.
Footnotes: 1 For the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) estimates, the global non-response rate (GNR) is used as an indicator of data quality. This indicator combines complete non-response (household) and partial non-response (question) into a single rate. The value of the GNR is presented to users. A smaller GNR indicates a lower risk of non-response bias and as a result, lower risk of inaccuracy. The threshold used for estimates' suppression is a GNR of 50% or more. For more information, please refer to the National Household Survey User Guide, 2011.

3 'Second generation' includes persons who were born in Canada and had at least one parent born outside Canada. For the most part, these are the children of immigrants.
4 'Third generation or more' includes persons who were born in Canada with both parents born in Canada.

7 For example, 'Vietnamese,' 'Cambodian,' 'Malaysian,' 'Laotian,' etc.
