Across Canada, the Black population is also up in the last five years, increasing 29 per cent for a total of more than 1.5 million.
But the Black population in the region is growing fast and residents who once might have left in search of community are increasingly staying to forge their own, said Wilks, senior manager of the Surrey Local Immigration Partnership.Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion delivered straight to your inbox at 7 a.m., Monday to Friday.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
Wilks said the Surrey Local Immigration Partnership, which is federally funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, is studying the trend. It said 33,656 people came from other Canadian provinces or territories, which is the highest number seen since 1994 and the highest in Canada, while the remaining 67,141 people came from abroad.
“We’re seeing a new transition. The francophone community is definitely growing, and a lot of francophone immigrants are Africans — they come from the African continent — and so over time, we this growth.” He said “the integration process is very difficult” for African immigrants, but encourages new arrivals to settle somewhere, “start calling that place your home and accept it.”“I didn’t really find a community, but I am trying to create the community,” Mulangu said in an interview.
Mulangu said another main challenge for Black immigrants is that their experience in society is very different from those who grew up in Canada.
