Details

[edit]

Japan has the tenth-largest population of Canadians living outside Canada.[2] As of June 2024, there were 11,701 Canadian residents in Japan, making them the second-largest North American group of residents after those from the United States.[3] This figure does not include individuals naturalized as Japanese citizens, short-term residents, or Japanese people with Canadian ancestry who do not hold Canadian citizenship. (Japan does not allow its citizens over 18 to have dual citizenship.)

In December 2023, 4,229 of them held permanent resident status, while 1,963 were residing as spouses of Japanese nationals.[4]
