Canadians are citizens of Canada. Canada is a multiethnic society, home to people of many different ethnic and national backgrounds. As a result, Canadians do not take their nationality as an ethnicity. Aside from the indigenous Aboriginal peoples, who according to the 2006 Canadian Census enumerated 1,172,790, 3.8% of the country's total population,[8] nearly all Canadians or their ancestors immigrated to Canada within the past five centuries, and the overwhelming majority arrived in the twentieth century.
The majority of Canadians live in Canada; however, there are approximately 2,800,000 Canadians abroad as of November 1, 2009.[9] This represents 7.5% of the total Canadian population, which is 36,960,000 as of July 2010. Of those abroad the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, China, and Lebanon have the largest Canadian diaspora. Canadians in United States are by far the greatest single expatriate community at over 1 million in 2009, representing 35.8% of all Canadians abroad.
