{{Main|Standard Canadian English}}
[[Standard Canadian English]] is socially defined. Standard Canadian English is spoken by those who live in urban Canada, in a middle-class job (or one of their parents holds such employment), who are second generation or later (born and raised in Canada) and speak English as (one of their) dominant language(s) (Dollinger 2019a, adapted from Chambers 1998). It is the variety spoken, in Chambers' (1998: 252) definition, by Anglophone or multilingual residents, who are second generation or later (i.e. born in Canada) and who live in urban settings.<ref>Dollinger, Stefan (2012). "Varieties of English: Canadian English in real-time perspective." In ''English Historical Linguistics: An International Handbook'' (HSK 34.2), Alexander Bergs & Laurel J. Brinton (eds), 1858–1880. [[De Gruyter]]. pp. 1859–1860.</ref> Applying this definition, c. 36% of the Canadian population speak Standard Canadian English in the 2006 population, with 38% in the 2011 census.<ref>{{Cite web
