Pakistani Pashtun Canadians are Afghan Canadian !

Like how does Sitara Hewitt get to have a stateless nation "Welsh" from her dad, instead of british, like what about her other side being Punjabi, Pathan, Sindhi, Balochi, but eh, she's Pakstani -_-?

Assessment

I have assessed this as a Start Class because, although it contains enough detail and organization for a B-Class, it is very under referenced. If references were added, I would upgrade it to a B-Class. I have assessed this as low importance, as it is a highly specific topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 23:10, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

User # 4.252.251.118 and 207.69.137.36 vandalized the page, by (for some odd reason) deleting every mentioning of Toronto and replacing it with Vancouver. Not sure where this is coming from, but StatsCan and other respectable Canadian institutions all show that the majority of all Pakistanis in Canada live in Toronto. Where exactly is the resentment coming from, not sure, but deleting things without sources or proper documentation is ignorant and childish.

And I have removed copyvio from . Dougweller (talk) 15:27, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Mohajirs

I removed that part in parentheses that describes what Mohajirs are as the word is highlighted as a link already. Also, the line seemed to indicate that Pakistan existed as a country before 1947 whereas all of the territory from roughly what is east of Afghanistan today to Burma was considered "India" before the partition. The name "Pakistan" was created for the new state around that time and did not exist beforehand.

Picture?

Muhajirs means immigrants or migrants, it's pretty ignorant to say Muhajir are a race! Where is the picture montage of all the famous Pakistani Canadians? If it has been deleted can it b recovered? And if it can't be recovered on which URL's are are copies of this montage stored? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.15.175 (talk) 20:37, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Population Statistics wrong!

This 124,000 population of Pakistani Canadians is antiquated and incorrect. Somebody please fix this! The actual population of Pakistani Canadians, as mentioned in this article itself, is >300,000. --عثمان وقاص چوہان 16:13, 19 May 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uchohan (talk • contribs)

Romantic Bias

As a second-generation Pakistani Canadian, I find that this article portrays Pakistani Canadians in a blatantly favorable, even unrealistic light. Many of the big claims, such as "Pakistani Canadians tend to have greater academic credentials than other immigrants" are made without references. Furthermore, the information in the Demographics sections makes it seem like most Pakistani Canadians are not only Muslim, but passionate Islamic role-models who 'live following The Prophet's example', which is highly romanticized. Also, this article mentions that Pakistanis tend to integrate well because they come from a "similarly tolerant society", which is patently untrue: Compared to Canada, Pakistan is religiously homogeneous and has a very strict political and cultural atmosphere in which conformity is considered paramount. People of other religions (especially Hindus and Christians), are often treated with suspicion and disdain. For the sake of proper learning, I plead with anybody qualified to do so - rewrite this article using reliable, objective sources, and without all the chauvinistic rhetoric. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.7.112 (talk) 05:00, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Afghan Canadian which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 22:16, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Proposed addition: Notable Bangladeshi resident in Canada (with sources and placement)

Disclosure: I am Abu Hasan Muhammed Jahangir, the subject of this proposed addition, so this is a conflict of interest (COI) matter under WP:COI. I'm proposing this solely via the talk page, not direct edits, and I welcome review, revisions, or rejection by neutral editors. My goal is to help improve the article's coverage of Bangladeshi Canadian community contributions.

The "Bangladeshi Canadians" article is a short stub focusing on demographics (e.g., ~150,000 population) and migration history, with no sections on notable individuals, regional communities, or economic roles. This leaves a gap in illustrating diaspora integration, especially in provinces like British Columbia where Bangladeshi communities are growing (per Statistics Canada data). A brief "Notable people" subsection would align with similar articles (e.g., "Indian Canadians"), using sourced examples of leadership for due weight and neutrality (WP:DUE, WP:NPOV, WP:VERIFY).

Proposed placement: Add a new subsection "Notable people" near the end (after "Culture" or "See also"), starting with:

Notable people

Bangladeshi entrepreneur and resident of British Columbia Abu Hasan Muhammed Jahangir has contributed to regional development, co-leading Port Alberni's bid for a 2026 FIFA World Cup training camp—which advanced after a July 2025 FIFA site visit—and serving as Second Vice-Chair of the Alberni Valley Chamber of Commerce.

(This keeps it to one concise sentence as an illustrative example; it could expand later with other sourced figures if editors see fit. Focused on verifiable details from reliable local/regional news: CHEK for the FIFA bid progress, Business Examiner for the Chamber election. Phrasing avoids unsubstantiated claims, e.g., bid outcome is pending.)

Thoughts? Does this fit the article's scope? Happy to provide more sources or adjust. Abujahangir (talk) 12:50, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
