Canadian diaspora

In the 1980s, Los Angeles had the fourth largest Canadian population of any city in North America, with New York close behind.

Other countries and cities have emerged as major sites of Canadian settlement, notably Hong Kong, London, Beirut, Sydney, Paris, and Dubai.

The population in New York experienced continued growth in the 2000s, doubling between 2000 and 2008 to 21,000, representing the eighth largest foreign-born group in the Borough of Manhattan.

[1] For native-born Canadians, the United States is the primary destination, and the emigration rate varies substantially by ethnicity.

Exit rates among Canada's two largest immigrant populations, Mainland Chinese and Indians, were very low during 1996 to 2006 but have risen.
