I do not live in Canada or Guyana as far as I know! Apparently, you know more about me than I do! I do know that many Hindus were brought to the "New World" (just under 200 years ago) to replace the British's recently freed Black slaves to do back-breaking work that the freed Blacks refused to do!
Yeah! But I am so glad that you mentioned Guyana, as it is the model for multiculturalism (as are most of the former British West Indies colonies). Guyana proudly calls itself the land of "SIX RACES" (the Portuguese and British being two of those distinct "races"! The Portuguese were viewed as a non-white "race" by the British. They were brought to that country as lowly indentured servants!
So, how has multiculturalism worked out in Guyana? The Blacks rabidly hate the Indians and the Indians return their hatred in kind! That country is a powder keg waiting for just a spark to explode! There are two main political parties, one for the Blacks and the other for the Indians... and that is how the politics go and how the two "races" vote in elections.
The Blacks live in their separate villages.... apart from the Indians who live in their separate villages! There are 3 provinces... the Blacks largely live in one of them... while the Indians live largely in the other two provinces.
Even job types are separated... with the Blacks mostly in civil services, government, police, and the army... while the Indians run the agricultural industry and control their own businesses.
There have long been talks of separating the country into two, a part for each "race"!
And what about the other "races" (that is the word that Guyana uses... "race") one may ask? The Chinese, the Amerindians, the Portuguese, and the other "Europeans" (who make up about 30% of the population, if you snuck in "mixed race" into that bunch. But in reality, this group chooses either the Black grouping or the Indian for safety)? Well! they are squashed between the collision of the two main "races", quivering in fear of the explosion that will likely come!
Look! In short! The Blacks and Indians in Guyana are rabidly mouth-frothing racists! And that racism has lasted for about 200 years with no end in sight! This is why Guyana had stagnated economically for the past 50+ years since independence... never-ending hatred! That is, until oil finds recently, and even over that there is hateful bickering between the two "races"!
That is your multiculturalism in a nutshell... and it is where the West is heading today!
