An ever-greater proportion of immigrants to Canada are from countries in the Global South, including Africa. The Southern African diaspora in Canada, which currently exceeds 120,000 people, is the focus of this special report, co-published with the Southern African Migration Programme. Guided by the new consensus that migration is, or can be, good for development, the authors of this report provide a systematic knowledge base about the Southern African diasporas in Canada, insights about the actual and potential development impacts of these diasporas, and a new methodology for accessing information about diasporas.
