Although their total proportion of the population has declined over the decades, Canada's largest linguistic, or ethnic group remains the English. The English comprised 20% of the population in 2001. The 2001 Census also found that the English were followed in second place by the French, who stood at just under 16%. The Scottish still form a sizeable minority, making up 14% of the population, while the Irish are just under 13%.

After the French and Anglo-Saxon groups, the Germans form the largest minority, comprising 9% of the population. The Italians follow at 4%, the Chinese at around 3.7% and the Ukrainians at 3.6%

The Pacific Islanders form Canada's smallest ethnic group, according to the results of the 2001 Census, with a total population of only 125.

An interesting change to Canada's census is that "Canadians" currently form not only a nationality, but also an ethnicity. As a result, citizens can mark that they are simply "Canadian" on the census. Over 39% of the population was Canadian by ethnicity in 2001. Most of these people, however, probably have English or French roots.

By Canadian you probably mean British(including Irish and Scottish) and French which have 40% Irish ancestry dating back to New France, in addition to Native Canadians. Intermarraige has been happening for a long time.
