His father was born in Canada and raised in China, the son of a Chinese father and a Scots-Irish mother.[1][2] Fred Wah's mother was a Swedish-born Canadian who came to Canada at age 6.[3] His diverse ethnic makeup figures significantly in his writings.

Wah won the 'Governor General's Award' for his 1985 book "Waiting for Saskatchewan". Wah retired after 40 years of teaching and lives in Vancouver, British Columbia with his wife Pauline Butling. He remains active writing and performing public readings of his poetry. From 2006 to 2007, he served as the Writer-in-Residence at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia.
