I've almost always lived in Fraserview, and I'd say that esp in the last 2 years, there has been a very noticeable uptick of people originating from Hong Kong settling down in the Fraserview area. You hear a lot more Cantonese being spoken at grocery stores, restaurants, and esp at schools. Without a doubt, this has to do with new Hong Konger immigrants coming and old returnees coming back to Canada as Hong Kong's political situation rapidly deteriorates.

Lots of them speak that weird Canto or like tao shan. Either way been pretty happy with the area as it's hella central to where we need to go (Van, Downtown, Burnaby, and Richmond)
