African immigration to Canada comprises citizens of countries in Africa who emigrated to Canada, as well as their descendants.
According to Statistics Canada, African-born individuals comprised 13.4% of recent immigrants to Canada as of 2016. This was the second largest number of recent immigrants to the nation after Europe, and a four-fold increase from the number of African-born immigrants in 1971 (3.2%). As of 2016, the top five countries of birth of recent African-born immigrants to Canada were Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Cameroon.[1]
Among the population in Canada with an immigrant background, persons with ancestry from Africa were the youngest residents as of 2016, with the largest proportion aged between 0-14 years old (~12%).[2]
Many immigrants from French-speaking African countries have settled in Quebec. Of these, most were from Côte d'Ivoire, Congo-Kinshasa and Senegal, as well as Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.[3]
