By the 1960s, what proportion of Canadians had origins that were neither British nor French due to immigration?

The correct answer is: 1/3

During the 1960s, there was a significant increase in immigration to Canada from countries other than Britain or France, resulting in an estimated 1/3 of Canadians having non-British or French origins. While it's true that 1/4 of Canadians had non-British or French origins by the late 1800s, this number had increased significantly by the 1960s. Similarly, while it's possible that 1/2 of Canadians had non-British or French origins by the late 1900s, this was not the case during the 1960s. And while it's true that the proportion of Canadians with non-British or French origins continued to increase after the 1960s, it was estimated to be around 2/3 by the early 2000s, not during the 1960s. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/3 or approximately one-third of Canadians.
