Today, Punjabi is the third most spoken language in Canada with at least 460,000 speakers.
Surrey, with close to 100,000 speakers of Punjabi, has now become the largest Punjabi-speaking community outside Punjab.
Brampton in Ontario is close second with 91,000 speakers of Punjabi.

This is due to the influx Punjabi Sikhs to western Canada after 1984. 95% of the Canadian born Sikhs can’t read or write Punjabi and I doubt that their future generations will be proficient in the language.
