Population
The population of Canadians self-identified as of Spanish descent is 325,730, including those with multiple ethnic backgrounds.[1]
Spanish Canadians are mostly concentrated in Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal. There is a minority in Metro Vancouver.
History
Spanish people first set on what is now Canadian land in the south-western part of what is now British Columbia in 1791. They made land claims there until the Spanish Empire lost that land to the British in 1818.
Present day Spanish populations did not appear in Ontaro and Quebec until the mid to late 20th century.
