Belarusian Canadians are Canadian citizens of Belarusian descent or Belarusian-born individuals who reside in Canada. According to the 2016 Census there were 20,710 Canadians who claimed Belarusian ancestry.[2]
Vincent Žuk-Hryškievič estimated the number of Belarusians in Canada in late 1959 at about 40 thousands, with a majority of Russian Empire era Belarusian immigrants being listed as Russians or Poles because Belarusians were not present as a separate category in Canadian documents.[3]
The oldest Belarusian diaspora organization in Canada, Belarusian Canadian Alliance, was established by Kastus Akula in 1948 in Toronto.[4]
