Chinese people migrate from all over china to all over the world and some are generation chinese, where they are born in canada/uk/america and have had a more canadian/british/american upbringing.

That was my fault, I didn't mean to say that all chinese-americans and chinese-canadians spoke chinese. I was referring to the people who actually do speak chinese.
Out of curiosity, does anyone happen to have a rough estimate of cantonese versus mandarin speakers in these kinds of areas?
