Chinese Canadians are an ethnic minority in Canada. The Chinese Canadians are the migrants and their descendants who migrated to Canada from China (mainly southern China) starting in 1858 with the discovery of gold in the Fraser valley in British Columbia. Today three-quarters of Chinese Canadians reside in the provinces of British Columbia and Ontario. The primary language spoken is Cantonese, although the younger generations are literate in English.
