Buddhism in Canada

Ling Yen Mountain Temple in Richmond, BC

Buddhism is among the smallest minority-religions in Canada, with a very slowly growing population in the country, partly the result of conversion, with only 4.6% of new immigrants identifying themselves as Buddhist.[1] As of 2021, the census recorded 356,975 or 1% of the population.[2]
