Canada did not officially participate in the Vietnam War. However, it contributed to peacekeeping forces in 1973 to help enforce the Paris Peace Accords.[1]
Privately, some Canadians contributed to the war effort. Canadian corporations sold war material to the U.S. government. In addition, at least 30,000 Canadians volunteered to serve in the U.S. armed forces during the war. At least 134 Canadians died or were reported missing in Vietnam.[2]
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of U.S. Vietnam War resisters immigrated to Canada to avoid the draft. Largely middle class and educated, they had a significant impact on Canadian life.[3] After the war, tens of thousands of Vietnamese boat people were also admitted and became a unique part of Canadian life.[4]
