   Canada   
   Canada has the highest per capita net immigration rate in the world,[44]   
   driven by   
   economic policy and family reunification, and is aiming for between 240,000   
   and 265,000   
   new permanent residents in 2010.[45] In 2001, 250,640 people immigrated to   
   Canada.   
   Newcomers settle mostly in the major urban areas of Toronto, Vancouver and   
   Montreal. Since   
   the 1990s, the majority of Canada's immigrants have come from Asia.[46]   
   Accusing a person   
   of racism in Canada is usually considered a serious slur.[47] All political   
   parties are   
   now cautious about criticizing of the high level of immigration, because, as   
   noted by the   
   Globe and Mail, "in the early 1990s, the old Reform Party was branded 'racist'   
   for   
   suggesting that immigration levels be lowered from 250,000 to 150,000."[48]
