Mexican Canadians (Spanish: canadienses mexicanos, French: Canadiens mexicains) are Canadian citizens of Mexican origin, either through birth or ethnicity, who reside in Canada. According to the 2021 Census, 155,380 Canadians indicated they were of full or partial Mexican ancestry (0.42% of the country's population).[1] They are part of the broader Latin American Canadian community.
While the Mexican-origin population in Canada is relatively small, Canada has the third largest Mexican population after the United States and Mexico. Nevertheless, Canada's Mexican population is far behind that of the United States, where, as of 2021, there were 38.2 million people of Mexican ancestry, comprising 12.2% of the population.[2][3]
As the Canadian Hispanic population is estimated as per 2023 at being over 3% of the population, twice from what it was in 2016, the Mexican population most likely had risen as well along with people of other Latin American groups.
