What percentage of the population speaks Chinese in Vancouver?

  1. 10%

  2. 13%

  3. 7%

  4. 15%

The correct answer is: 13%

China is Canada's largest source of immigrants, and as a result, Chinese languages, including Mandarin and Cantonese, are spoken by a significant percentage of the population in Vancouver. According to the 2016 Census, approximately 13% of Vancouver's population speaks Chinese. A is incorrect because it is too low of a percentage, while C and D are too high. It is important to note that there are also other non-Chinese languages spoken in Vancouver, such as English and Punjabi, which account for the remaining percentage of the population.
