==== Future usage ==== The future of ''eh'' in Canada is vague but promising. Three critical factors that will shape the future of this expression include speaker attitudes, the possible replacement of the expressions by young speakers, and new Canadians' adoption of ''eh''.<ref name=":2" /> Students account for a large percentage of ''eh'' users and continue to contribute to the growing community.<ref name=":2" /> Because of this projected increase in the usage of ''eh'', the previous negative connotation surrounding the narrative-''eh'' will most likely dwindle.<ref name=":2" /> The future of ''eh'' is quite optimistic and there is room for expansion due to the various uses possible. In addition to the popularity amongst students, immigrants are essential to the future of ''eh''.<ref name=":2" /> Survey results on immigrant recognition of ''eh'' show that immigrants had high rates of recognition for most types of ''eh'', with opinion-''eh'' and exclamation-''eh'' at the top.<ref name=":2" /> The data shows that while the usage of ''eh'' in immigrant countries is different, it is still common.<ref name=":2" /> This shows that even though native speakers still use ''eh'' more frequently, the future of ''eh'' is still optimistic. Altogether, Canada's link with [[bilingualism]] has contributed to ''eh''<nowiki/>'s common usage, and its recognition amongst immigrants shows that ''eh'' will continue to be prevalent in Canadian culture.<ref name=":2" />
