More than half the population identified their ethnocultural ancestry as Canadian, while two-fifths identified English ancestry, and one-fifth identified Irish ancestry. However, Canadian is written on the census first, and many people write in other ethnic groups after it, which are listed in another section, so numbers do not necessarily represent accurate responses to ethnicity.
Largest ethnic origins by census division, 2021 census More than 100,000 Newfoundlanders have applied for membership in theQalipu Mi'kmaq First Nation Band , equivalent to one-fifth of the total population.[ 6]

Note: "n.i.e.": not included elsewhere
There were also about 25 single-language responses forAmharic , 25 forBisayan languages , 20 forSinhala and 20 forSlovak . In addition, there were also 435 responses of English and a non-official language; 30 of French and a non-official language; 295 of English and French; and 10 of English, French, and a non-official language. (Figures shown are for the number of single language responses and the percentage of total single-language responses.)[ 12]
A 93.2% majority of Newfoundlanders identify asChristian . Among this group, Roman Catholics form a plurality of 38.4%. As Newfoundland and Labrador has received less recent immigration than the rest of Canada, a relatively small number of Christian denominations are represented in the province.
One well-established feature of Newfoundland's religious landscape is theSalvation Army , whose members are more widespread in Newfoundland and Labrador than any other province. Also notable are missionaries of theMoravian Church , who have a long history with the Labrador Inuit ofNunatsiavut , although they were not active in other regions of the province.

Interprovincial migration [ edit ] Net cumulative interprovincial migration per Province from 1997 to 2017, as a share of population of each Provinces Since it started being recorded in 1971,Newfoundland and Labrador is the province that has lost the biggest share of its population to interprovincial migration, which was especially high in the 1990s. Out-migration from the province was curtailed in 2008 and net migration stayed positive through 2014, when it again dropped due to bleak finances and rising unemployment (caused by falling oil prices).[citation needed With the announcement of the 2016 provincial budget, St. John'sTelegram Russell Wangersky published the column "Get out if you can", which urged young Newfoundlanders to leave the province to avoid future hardships.[ 71]
