With the growth recorded in 2018, a new maximum of Portuguese inflows into Canadian territory was reached during this century. Since 2000, the number of Portuguese arriving in Canada has fluctuated frequently, although an upward trend has prevailed. During the period under review, the lowest number of entries was in 2003, when only 329 Portuguese emigrated to Canada. In 2017, there was a further decline in Portuguese emigration to Canada. However, we can now say that this was a new oscillation and not a reversal of the upward trend.
