Asian Canadians refers to Canadians who can trace their ancestry back to the continent of Asia or Asian people. Canadians of Asian ancestry comprise the largest and fastest growing visible minority group in Canada, with roughly 17% of the Canadian population. Most Asian Canadians are concentrated in the urban areas of Southern Ontario, the Greater Vancouver area, Calgary, and other large Canadian cities. In Canada, the term 'Asian' is pan-continental unlike its usage in the US and Australia. See Asian Americans.

Asian Canadians considered visible minorities may be classified as Taiwanese Canadians; Chinese Canadians; Filipino Canadians; South Asian Canadians (e.g, Bangladeshi Canadians, Indian Canadians, Pakistani Canadians); Southeast Asian (e.g. Vietnamese Canadians); Arab Canadians (e.g. Kuwaiti Canadians); West Asian (e.g. Afghan Canadians, Jewish Canadians, Israeli Canadians, Iranian Canadians), Korean Canadians; or Japanese Canadians.[1
