The first Jews in Australia were convicts. There were between 8 and 14 Jews on the First Fleet. Free Jewish settlers began arriving from 1816 onwards because Australia offered religious freedom not available to them in their homelands.

Jews have come to Canada over the last century because of Canada's relatively tolerant policies towards Jews. In addition, Canada has easier Immigration laws than the USA, France, and the UK which made it an ideal entrance point if those other places would not allow a person in.
