German Canadians
German Canadians — that is, Canadians who report their ethnic origin as solely or partly from Germany or of German ancestry — are one of Canada's largest ethnic categories of European origin. At the time of the British Conquest of New France, nearly 200 families living in the St. Lawrence Valley were of German origin. British North America, and then Canada, would receive six cohorts of immigration throughout their history, the most recent of which consisted of displaced people at the end of the Second World War. In the 2021 Canadian census, 2,955,695 Canadians (8.1 per cent of the population) reported German origins. Around 303,655 people in the country reported German as their mother tongue.
