Southeast Asian Canadians are Canadians who were either born in or can trace their ancestrytoSoutheast Asia. The term Southeast Asian Canadian is a subgroup of Asian Canadians. According to Statistics Canada, Southeast Asian Canadians are considered visible minorities and can be further divided by ethnicity and/or nationality, such as Cambodian Canadian, Filipino Canadian, Indonesian Canadian, Laotian Canadian, Malaysian Canadian, Singaporean Canadian, Thai Canadian, or Vietnamese Canadian, as seen on demi-decadal census data.[1]
Southeast Asian Canadians are typically identified under the term "Asian"; popular usage of this term in Canada generally excludes both West and South Asians, instead solely referring to individuals of East Asian or Southeast Asian ancestry.
