Canadians in Haiti consist mainly of expatriates from Canada. According to Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, there are about 6,000 Canadians living in Haiti, but only 700 are registered with the Canadian Embassy in Port-au-Prince.[1][2]

Hundreds of Canadians work for aid organizations in Haiti. These organizations include Oxfam Canada, Care Canada, World Vision Canada, Plan Canada and Save the Children.[3]
