Using an ethnic community of your choosing, write a case study that explains how the group you have chosen has contributed to the cultural mosaic of Canada. Base your study on a specific country of origin. For this homework you must use at least 5 sources, 2 of which must be academic books. Avoid blogs or common websites that are not supported by academic institutions or formal organization. Your report should be 4 to 5 pages, double spaced (excluding a title page and works referenced list) and should address the following information.
1. Demographics: Give statistical information outlining the current population of your group in Canada, identify major areas of settlement, as well as the various languages spoken by the community and the religious breakdown of the group. Be sure to use official statistics from a government source (Census, StatsCan, government websites etc. Wikipedia is NOT an acceptable source
2. History: Give an historical overview of your community as it relates to immigration to Canada. Identify major historical events in the sending country that produced conditions for migration, explain when and where groups settled over time, and explain how these communities have grown and developed from their arrival to the present.
