Published by Statista Research Department, Mar 11, 2024

In 2021, ten percent of Canadians belonging neither to a visible minority nor to the indigenous population (First Nations and Métis) were living in low-income. This proportion was much higher among people of Arab heritage (17.3 percent), or among Aboriginals (17.1 percent). Conversely, the proportion of people with low incomes was lower among Canadians of Philippine, South Asian or Latin American background.
