Albanian Canadians ((アルバニア語:Shqiptarë Kanadezë)) are Canadian citizens of Albanian descent or Albanian people who hold Canadian citizenship. According to the 2011 Census there were 28,270 Canadians who claimed Albanian ancestry, having an increase compared to those 22,395 in the 2006 Census.〔 == History == The first Albanians who settled in Canada arrived in the early 20th century, due to internal uprisings that occurred in their country of origin. However, after World War II (1938–1943) very few Albanians came to Canada, and most arrived from the former Yugoslavia, due to a communist regime in Albania, which prohibited foreign travel. Most Albanians who emigrated to Canada country after the war decided to settle in Montreal or Toronto. There were also some Albanian workers who resided in Calgary and Ontario (e.g. Peterborough).〔(The Canadian Encyclopedia ). Published by Vladislav A. Tomovic.

The number of Albanians in Canada peaked in the late 1990s as they fled economic and political crisis in both Albania and Yugoslavia.〔(The Albanians in Toronto ).

This armed conflict was a clash between Albanian and Serb military and police, which caused that many Albanians feel compelled to leave Kosovo as refugees, many of them emigrating to Canada. Thus, in 1999, the Government of Canada established a residency program to allow 7,000 refugees Kosovar Albanians.〔 As with professionals from other countries, there has been a large influx of young Albanian professionals who immigrate to Canada for a better life. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albanian Canadian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
