Vietnamese Community

The Vietnamese have settled in Toronto in three distinct periods in the last two decades. Between 1950 and 1975, there were a handful of Vietnamese students and professionals who were either in the process of completing their studies or who chose to stay after graduating. Between April 1975 and the end of 1978, the first group of Vietnamese refugees, who arrived after the North Vietnamese communist regime seized the Republic of South Vietnam, numbered 1,500 in Ontario and 1,000 in Metro Toronto.
In 1979, Canada decided to accept 50,000 Indochinese refugees, who were also known as the boat people. By 1980, about 2,000 had arrived in Metro Toronto. By 1982, the number grew to 12,000. Between 1983 and 1986, this population expanded to 30,000 largely through secondary migration.
The majority of the Toronto Vietnamese have settled in several downtown areas: Bloor Street and Jane, bounded by the Humber River on the west and Dundas on the north; between Dufferin and Bathurst, from St Clair Avenue north to Eglinton; and north of Eglinton between Keele and Dufferin. Other pockets are scattered in different areas in Metro Toronto and York Region. In the last few years, there has been a gradual increase of the Vietnamese presence in Mississauga.
