In Canada，people from many cultures live together. Canada became a country in 1867，and for more than a hundred years，most immigrants in the country were from Europe.In the 1970s and 1980s，that changed. According to a survey，the number of European immigrants dropped from 90 percent to 25 percent，and the number of Asian immigrants rose from 3 percent to 48 percent.
