Armenian Canadian
Armenian Canadians ((アルメニア語:կանադահայեր), ''kanadahayer'') are Canadian citizens of Armenian national background or descent. The 2006 census determined that their number was 50,500〔Statistics Canada, ''2006 Census'', Ethnic Origin (247), Single and Multiple Ethnic Origin Responses (3) and Sex (3) for the Population of Canada, Provinces, Territories, Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations, 2006 Census - 20% Sample Data, 97-562-XCB2006006 ()〕 and 30,130 had Armenian as their mother tongue.〔Statistics Canada, ''2006 Census'', Detailed Mother Tongue (103), Knowledge of Official Languages (5), Age Groups (17A) and Sex (3) for the Population of Canada, Provinces, Territories, Census Divisions and Census Subdivisions, 2006 Census - 20% Sample Data, 97-555-XCB2006016 ()〕 A large part of the Armenian diaspora in Canada came from nations in the Middle East and some from Europe.〔(''Canadian Encyclopedia'' article on "Armenians" )〕 Canada has also seen increased immigration from Armenia, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
== History ==
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Armenians who had escaped persecution from the Armenian Genocide settled in communities in southern Ontario. Early immigrants congregated in ''kratarans'' or reading rooms where Armenian Canadians shared Armenian literature.
Thousands of Armenians made their way to Canada after federal immigration policies became less restrictive during the 1950s. Many newcomers were originally from Middle Eastern countries that were affected by strife such as Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. In the early 1990s, some Armenians immigrated to Canada after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Most Armenian-Canadians are centered in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario and are active in community life. Smaller communities exist in the central and Maritime Provinces, with a slightly larger community in British Columbia.
