Turkish Canadians (Turkish: Türk asıllı Kanadalılar; literally "Turkish-originating Canadians"), also called Canadian Turks (Turkish: Kanadalı Türkler), are Canadians of Turkish descent. The majority descend from the Republic of Turkey and minorities from other post-Ottoman Empire states, including the Balkans (Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Romania), the island of Cyprus, the Levant (Iraq, Lebanon and Syria) and North Africa (especially Egypt).[3][4]
