Luxembourgish Canadians areCanadian citizens ofLuxembourgish descent orLuxembourg-born people who reside inCanada. According to the2016 Census there were 3,915 Canadians who claimed full or partial Luxembourgish ancestry.[1]
Luxembourgish immigration to Canada has not been as significant as those from other parts ofEurope but there is a considerable community from Luxembourg in Canada. Despite this, the North American country is home to one of the largest Luxembourgish communities in the world and the fourth largest in the Americas, only behind theUnited States,Brazil, andArgentina.
There had always been strong relations between the two countries but it was not until the outbreak of theSecond World War when both came together even more.[2]
Canada opened its doors to thousands of immigrants, including Luxembourgers. But some of the most notable Luxembourgers who arrived in Canada were the Grand Duke's family who came toMontreal,Quebec as refugees after the German invasion of Luxembourg on May 10, 1940. Since then, Canada and Luxembourg have developed a partnership which encompasses shared values and an ongoing political dialogue on major international issues.[2]
Both countries are members ofLa Francophonie andNATO.[3]
