Well here are the stats from Canada's 2001 census:
English (20.17%)
French (15.75%)
Scottish (14.03%)
Irish (12.90%)
German (9.25%)
Italian (4.29%)
Chinese (3.69%)
Ukrainian (3.61%)
First Nations (3.38%)
Dutch (3.12%)
Polish (2.76%)
East Indian (2.41%)
Black African (2.23%)
Norwegian (1.23%)
Portuguese (1.21%)
Welsh(1.18%)
Jewish (1.18%)
Russian (1.14%)
Filipino (1.11%)
Métis (1.04%)
Swedish (0.95%)
Hungarian (0.90%)

We may not have the same population demographic as the U.S. but it is still very diverse. Not sure what any of this has to do with a countries propensity for violence and crime, unless it is your contention that it is the immigrant population who is largely responsible for crime rates?
considering i am 1/2 immigrant (1971) and 1/2 immigrant (1700s), you question is what?

all americans are immigrant with the exception of the few north american indians who remain here today.

aren't you lucky it is us at your southern border, and not mexico, or iran, or iraq?
