Curry rice is widely available in Japan and makes for a nice safe alternative when more exotic dishes are on offer.

I tend associate japanese cuisine with subtle/bland (pick one depending on your bias) flavours. Not a criticism, but as far as I can tell, japanese food is accessible to westerners providing they like fish. It's not at all like some regional chinese food which (imo) can be pretty nasty if it's authentic.

As much as I love poutine and Japanese food. Lol, Does anyone have any other figures, the figures of immigration into Canada was interesting. Thanks for that.

You are not exactly being crystal clear here what figures you want. And besides, Im sure you can google the facts as well as anyone here can.

Did you at least try the stats canada website? They have all sorts of demographic and ethnographic stats available. Try their community profiles for what you are looking for.
http://www12.statcan.ca/census-recen...-591/index.cfm

Enter a place, then click on population and it will tell you the number of immigrants, broken down by when they landed, plus there are breakdowns by ethnic origins too.

I think the real question discocar wants answering is "how many expats am I going to be meeting/bumping into?".
That would depend on where you were and if like me you are in a small backwater then there won't be that many. Occasionally we come across a Brit but it's rare. But we didn't come to Canada to meet Brits so it's ok.

[QUOTE=CanadaJimmy;10194730]The only thing I can think of is the CIC yearly fact reports.(QUOTE)
I used to have that problem, but now it's mostly beer, fishing, and sex.
