HOW MANY OF US ARE THERE IN BC?
It’s a tough question to answer. We know that according to Census 2021, there are over 7,000 landed immigrants and permanent residents who were born in Ireland.
Add to that over 2,500 non-permanent residents here on study or 2 year visas, not to mention the summer student influx; it is estimated that there are over 10,000 Irish in BC. Movement within Canada is not tracked so the statistics may be higher.
However, check out the following interesting numbers provided by the 2021 Canadian Population Census. If you find further stats, please get in touch.
