Portuguese inflows into Canada reach highest number in 2021
Inês Vidigal
There were 890 Portuguese who entered Canada in 2020, according to data from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The official statistics department accounted for a total of 406,005 entries of foreigners in Canadian territory in that year, with the Portuguese accounting for 0.2% of this total. +

After a decrease in the number of Portuguese entries to Canada in 2020, in 2021 there is a sharp increase (+61.8%), reaching the highest number of entries since 2000. During the period under review, the lowest value was recorded in 2003 (329 entries), while the highest was in 2021 (890 entries). Portuguese emigration to Canada continues to represent a very small fraction of both immigration in this country (0.2%) and total Portuguese emigration (less than 1%).
