They say the devil is in the details. In order to understand the actual cultural composition of Canada's future workplace, I decided to look up government statistics on cultural identities of immigrants coming to Canada.

This webpage allows public access to general statistical data on the diversity of immigration population coming to Canada in 2021. More than half of immigrants coming to Canada in 2021 are from Asia. About a quarter came from Europe. other Americans and Africans make up about another quarter of the immigration population. 

Half of all these immigrants end up in Ontario. About a fifth of immigrants end up in British Columbia. Quebec also took in about a fifth of the immigrants. About a sixth of the immigrants go to Alberta and the rest end up in other provinces and territories. 

In 2021, the majority of newcomers are people from South Asia, East Asia and Southeast Asia. The percentage makes logical sense considering most Asian countries have the largest population in the world. Immigrants from Europe and other American countries also account for more than a third of the immigrants. 

Immigrants' favorite destinations in 2021 are mostly Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Alberta. The large demographic shift and cultural diversity is more prevalent in these provinces. By percentage, few immigrants go to Manitoba and Saskatchewan. One might expect much less racial and cultural discrepancies outside the major economic hubs of Canada.
