One should look at the larger population centers and in specific provinces. One should also go back in history: Sikhs were brought to work in Canada, particularly in British Columbia in the mid-19th century--as other Indians were brought into British Guyana, the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica and Trinidad/Tobago, Fiji, South Africa, and East Africa, particularly Uganda. Presently in Canada Indians have taken a more active role in politics and, with the Chinese, they form the largest ethnic groups in Vancouver.
