Ethnicity Question


Question

I am looking for the population of black Africans in Canada (either born here or who have come as immigrants). The researcher is particularly interested in knowing how many of these people work in the health care field.

This is the best info I could find so far: http://www.oacas.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Fact-Sheet-Africian-Canadians-August-20151.pdf

Answer

I have been searching statcan resources for visible minority, ethnic diversity, and immigration and can think of the NHS, although that may be a little dated.

All references that I have come across are derived from the Census program. I will keep searching and let you know if I come across anything more relevant.
