If you have read Chinese Canadian ethnic market – population snapshot, you might have noticed that so-called Chinese Canadian are not all the same. There are several sub-groups among them, depending on how long they have been in Canada, and where they immigrated from if they came here in the recent decades. If you have read this post , you might also have an idea that they don’t all speak the same dialect, nor write in the same written form either.
This post is about Chinese Canadian who came to Canada in recent years. They speak Mandarin and some have their own dialects such as Cantonese, Wu (Shanghai, Zhejiang Province), Fujian dialects, etc. There will be a separate post to discuss Chinese Canadian originated from other places and their needs.
