Hello,

I couldn't find any projections by race, but I only did a cursory
search at the Canadian census website. They do have projections by
general population (linked below) all the way to 2026, so I guess you
could extrapolate quite crudely what the Chinese population might be
ratios stay around the same numbers, but it will have some error in it
of course. Here are figures I found for the last census (1996):

Chinese population in Vancouver:
Total 279,035 
Male 135,120 
Female 143,925 

Chinese population in British Columbia:
Total 299,860 
Male 145,575 
Female 154,280

Chinese population in Canada:
Total 860,150 
Male 420,015 
Female 440,135

They have more detailed breakdowns by metropolitan areas which are
linked below, but still no projections.

I think that the rate of Chinese population growth over the next 50
years will differ significantly from the rate of general population
growth due to the large influx of immigrants from Asia - thus, I don't
think I can extrapolate.
