A Latvian Canadian is a Canadian citizen of Latvian descent or a Latvian person who is in possession of Canadian citizenship. Currently 20,445 people of Latvian descent live in Canada. == History == Although by 1921 the Canadian government considered all persons from the Soviet Union to be Russians, we know that there were some Latvians living in Canada in those years because in 1961, 379 Latvian indicated that they had arrived in Canada prior to 1921, and most probably left Latvia after the 1905 Revolution. Between 1921 and 1945, 409 Latvians arrived to Canada, although in the 1941 census listed 975 people claimed Latvian origin. After the Second World War in 1947, many Latvians came to Canada as war refugees. This migration, which accounted for 92% of Latvians who immigrated to the country between 1921 and 1965, ended in 1957. Many of these Latvians worked in the agricultural areas during their first years in Canada, but soon settled in cities. So, by 1961 only 10% of those immigrants lived in rural zones and farms (6 percent in rural areas and 4 percent on farms). The majority of Latvian immigrants in Canada in 1991 were women, 775 more women than men.〔http://multiculturalcanada.ca/Encyclopedia/A-Z/l3/2 Multicultural Canada: Migration, Arrival, and Settlement.
