Caribbean Canadians are citizens of Canada who were born in the Caribbean or who are of Caribbean descent. Caribbean people first began to settle in Canada in the late eighteenth century. 749,155 people had reported that they have origins in the Caribbean or West Indies in the 2016 Canadian census. Many Caribbean people have immigrated to the country since the 1970s.[1] Many Caribbean immigrants in Canada are from Jamaica,[2] but there are also immigrants from Barbados, Guyana and Haiti and Trinidand and Tobago. Most Caribbean Canadians reside in Toronto and Montreal.[3]
