			<description><![CDATA[South Asians have replaced the Chinese as the largest visible minority group in Canada. For the first time in Canada’s history, in 2006, as a result of a much larger intake of South Asian immigrants since the 1990s, the population of “South Asians” came to exceed that of the “Chinese”. During the period 1996-2006, the South Asian population increased by 88 per cent reaching almost 1.26 million compared to an increase of 43 per cent in the Chinese population which increased to 1.22 million. South Asians now comprise 4 per cent of Canada's total population and a quarter of its population of visible minorities. This has happened earlier than projected. South Asians have outnumbered the Chinese much earlier than projected in the pre-2006 Census estimates of Statistics Canada: “While the Chinese group outnumbered the South Asian group in 2001, the latter may catch up to the former by 2017”, A. Bellanger and E. Caron Malefant – Population projections of visible minority groups, Canada, provinces and regions, 2001-2017, (Statistics Canada - Catalogue no. 91-541-XIE, March 2005) It wont be a surprise if the South Asian population becomes the largest visible minority in Toronto well before 2031 repeating the national level experience.
