Nigerian Canadians are Canadian citizens and residents of Nigerian origin and descent. Nigerians began migrating to Canada during the 1967–1970 Biafra War.[1] Nigerians were not broken out separately in immigration statistics until 1973. 3,919 landed immigrants of Nigerian nationality arrived in Canada from 1973 to 1991.[2] In the 2001 Census, 9,530 people identified themselves as Nigerians; of those, 6,575 lived in Ontario (5,275 in Toronto alone).[3] In the 2006 Census, 19,520 people identified themselves as Nigerians. Again, roughly two thirds (13,325) lived in Ontario, with 10,430 in Toronto alone.[4] There is a significant number of Nigerians living in the Jane and Wilson (Chalkfarm) area of Toronto. There has been a steady increase in the number of Nigerians in Canada. In the 2015 Census, 33,140 people identified themselves as Nigerians up from 27,650 in 2011.[5]
