Minority Population: Immigrants and Cent

minority population: Take the tiny town of Frontier, Sask. -- home to 280 people in 2006, just 20 of them immigrants, according to CTV. Ten years later, the population sat at 415, including 120 immigrants -- dramatic growth driven largely by a local farm equipment manufacturer who found newcomers to Canada to be the only way to address his labour woes. But the land of the living skies now has a visible minority population of 63,275, driven by rising waves of immigration. Many of the workers Honey Bee Manufacturing brought in were from the Philippines; that country generated 15.6 per cent of all new immigrants to Canada between 2011 and 2016, followed by India at 12.1 per cent and China at 10.6 per cent. The percentage of new immigrants living in Alberta reached 17.1 per cent in 2016, compared with 6.9 per cent in 2001; In Manitoba, it went to 5.2 per cent, up from 1.8 per cent; and four per cent in Saskatchewan, up from one per cent 15 years earlier. But while populous provinces like Ontario and B.C. were once the destinations of choice for new arrivals, more and more of them have been flocking to the Prairies, lured by more promising work prospects.
