Black History in Canada: From 1960 to Now

In 1967, Canadian immigration policy changed. Immigrants were assessed in terms of education, skills and employment prospects, regardless of race, ethnicity or nationality. Since the 1960s, many qualified immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa have settled in Canada. (See Caribbean Canadians; African Canadians.) According to 2016 census figures, most recent Black immigrants come from Haiti, Nigeria, Jamaica, Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. According to Statistics Canada, there were about 1.2 million Black people living in Canada in 2016. Read more about Black history in Canada.
