Abstract
The 2006 Census data showed that Anglophones, that is the population whose mother tongue is English, made up the majority of the population in Canada, about 57.8%. This was the case for all provinces and territories except Quebec, where the majority of the population reported French as mother tongue. In total, 22.1% of the population in Canada were Francophones, which is the population with French as their mother tongue. Allophones, the population who reported a non-official language as mother tongue, made up 20%. Allophones tend to reside in the census metropolitan areas. In Toronto, 44% of its residents were Allophones. It was 41% in Vancouver and 22% in Montréal.
