I have read approx. 53,000 moved.
____
The British and then Canadian government recorded most of the migration, but the numbers are only estimates. Many fled but there was no record of where they went to. Approx. 80,000 to 100,000 fled the new United States, only about half settled in Canada.
The breakdown is as follows:
Maritimes: approx 30,000 (although many migrated westward later)
Quebec: approx 2,000
Ontario: 7,500
This number does not reflect the slaves that were brought, nor does it show the Natives that fought for the British and were forced to flee as well.
