Tunisian Arab Muslims Montreal

When did Tunisian Arab Muslims first come to Canada?

Tunisian Arabs did not start arriving in North America until the late 1970s and early 1980s. A large number of Tunisians come to North America for educational purposes. Canada, which has a larger population of Tunisian Arabs, welcomes between 2,000 and 3,000 students per year, with many remaining to work after finishing school and others coming on traditional visas.
