Australian Canadians are Canadian citizens or residents with Australian ancestry. There are three groups of Australian Canadians, including Australian immigrants to Canada, descendants of Australian immigrants to Canada, and Australian expatriates residing in Canada. According to the 2021 Census, there were 46,765 Canadians who claimed full or partial Australian ancestry.[2] Historically, most Australian Canadians lived in the western provinces of Canada,[3] however in 2016, the most popular cities for Australian immigrants are Vancouver and Toronto.[2] While the number of Australian Canadians is quite low relative to other countries,[2] the number of Australians on working visas in Canada is extremely high.[4][5][6]

Both countries are among the most developed countries and share historical connections, language and similar customs. Further, both Canada and Australia have Charles III as their Head of State as both are also Commonwealth realms.[citation needed]
