Haitian Canadians are Canadian citizens of Haitian descent or Haiti-born people who reside in Canada.

Citizens from the Francophone Caribbean island nation of Haiti began immigrating to Canada in the 1960s, settling predominantly in Montreal and other parts of Quebec. Though their reasons for leaving Haiti were manifold, their choice to settle in Quebec is mainly due to their fluency in French. The Canada 2011 Census showed a total population of 137,995 Haitian-Canadians residing in Canada, an increase of 35,565 respondents who identified themselves as Haitian Canadians compared with the Canada 2006 Census, which showed a total population of 102,430 respondents. Of this total, 119,185 (97%) resided in Quebec.
