Indigenous Canadians were likely still the largest minority group in Canada until the 21st century.
Today, it is the fourth largest racial group in Canada. From the 2021 Census
White: 69.8%
South Asian: 7.1%
East Asian: 5.6%
Indigenous: 5.0%
Black: 4.3%
SE Asian: 3.7%
West Asian: 2.9%
Latin America: 1.6%
With the explosion in Chinese and Indian immigration post-2000, it was likely between 2001 and 2006 Indigenous was overtaken as second largest group.
