Data shown through 2016Table updated

These are the selections used for this answer. The full Statistics Canada table (opens in a new tab) (15-10-0009-01) contains other measures and breakdowns.

Adapted from Statistics Canada, English, French and non-official languages spoken at home by geography, 2001 to 2016, 2020-08-21. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product.

How this answer was calculatedThe headline compares the first and last observations shown. Absolute change is the last source value minus the first; relative change is (last ÷ first − 1) × 100. Intermediate observations remain visible in the chart and exact values. This is descriptive and does not identify causes.
