We are proud of British Columbia’s diversity. It’s a big part of what makes our province such a great place to live. Canadians of South Asian heritages have origins in nations such as Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan with a diaspora as far-reaching as Fiji, Africa, the Caribbean and further. South Asian immigration to B.C. has been integral to the growth and success of our province.
