List of ethnic interest groups in Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of ethnic interest groups in Canada, often engaged in diaspora politics.

These are advocacy groups in Canada that are established along cultural, ethnic, religious, or racial lines by an ethnic group for the purposes of protecting and advancing the interests of their particular social group either within Canada or abroad—as in the case of foreign policy interest group—through (directly or indirectly) influencing Canadian foreign policy.[1]

This list is organized according to the ethnic divisions used by Statistics Canada.
