The Asian Outlook Magazine is the only Hindi magazine in all of Canada and the only Hindi publication in B.C. The mission is to promote the language of Hindi in Canada since there is a misconception that Hindi is not the national langugae of India. Our success is the passion through which we strive to achieve our goal..

• The magazine is first of its kind and the only news magazine published in Hindi in Canada.

• The Asian Outlook Magazine is a monthly bilingual publication which provides readers with issue based current news stories, both in English and India’s National language, Hindi - the third most popular language of the world.

• It is the only Indo-Canadian publication that is reaching the future immigrants/students in India with an aim of providing genuine information and opportunities available here. As per a Vancouver Sun report dated August 1, and October 18, 2006 more and more students and educated immigrants from India are looking to Canada to further their careers

.• The magazine reaches Canadian consulates in India as well public libraries and community centre in and around Vancouver

.• The magazine provides information to new immigrants and helps them take decisions before they land in Canada, thus reducing their settling down time, which of late has gone up to 10 years, as per StatsCan figures. Need of the hourAs the classification of immigrants moving from India to Canada is changing, there has been a wide gap between what is available in the market to what is the need of the hour.

• According to 2001 census, there are over 200,000 Hindi speaking immigrants residing in B.C, which certainly has gone up since then.

• 100% of immigrants coming from India have studied Hindi at some point in their life.

• More and more Hindi speaking population is making Vancouver, BC their home lately and is the one of the most popular language spoken in B.C, according to Statistics Canada.

• The Liberal government’s policy of inviting more skilled workers to Canada resulted in a deluge of Hindi speaking immigrants from the metros and cities of India where Hindi is the national language and the changing trends seem to have gone unnoticed by most Canadians.

• A new immigrant with even less than 10 years of education in India is well versed in the language as Hindi is a compulsory subject taught in schools in India.
• The aim of the magazine is to provide this section of people with information in Hindi, a language they are brought up on and a language they rely on as well as want their children to be in touch with Hindi. No wonder, Bollywood movies (all in Hindi) are more popular in Canada than in other country in the world and even Canadians like Deepa Mehta prefer to make their films in Hindi, mainly for North American audience!
