History

The census asks about ethnic origin and mother tongue, so the community is visible.

The account

کانادا

Skilled immigration since the 1990s built large communities in Toronto's North York, known as Tehranto, on Vancouver's North Shore and in Montreal. Toronto hosts the Tirgan festival. Canada severed diplomatic relations with Iran in 2012. The downing of flight PS752 on 8 January 2020 killed many Iranian-Canadians.
