Ukrainians first came to Canada in the 19th century. The initial influx came as the Canadian government promoted the immigration of farmers.
During the First World War, thousands of Ukrainian Canadians were imprisoned as enemy aliens due to their origins in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
According to 2016 census, Ukrainian Canadians number 1,359,655 or 3.8 per cent of the country's population and are mainly Canadian-born citizens.
