A video of a Chinese woman expressing surprise at the large number of Indians she encountered in Canada has taken the internet by storm. The woman recorded her reaction while at a location for her driver’s license theory test, where she felt she was surrounded by Indians, particularly those from the Sikh community.
In the video, she candidly remarks, “People who didn’t know might think this is India,” as she showed the scene of people waiting for their tests. The clip quickly went viral, with viewers debating the woman’s comments.

Many social media users were quick to respond, pointing out the irony of her statement. “A Chinese immigrant complaining about immigrants in Canada is something,” one user commented. Others highlighted that she, too, is an immigrant in Canada, with one saying, “Maybe she should go back to China then.”
Another user commented, “Canada’s diversity is what makes the country great, whether it’s Europeans, Asians, or others, that’s the beauty of Canada.”
Immigrant Diversity in Canada
Canada’s immigrant population has long been a source of national pride, with waves of people from all over the world contributing to its culture. Some users also pointed out the large number of Chinese immigrants in cities like Vancouver, adding another layer of irony to the woman’s remarks.
“There are way more Chinese in places like Vancouver, which could be confused for being part of China,” one user noted.
Canada’s Evolving Identity
As debates over immigration continue globally, Canada’s identity as a multicultural nation remains at the forefront. With immigrants making up a significant portion of its population, including large Indian and Chinese communities, this video has reignited discussions about how immigration shapes Canadian society.
