European Canadians are Canadians who can trace their ancestry to the continent of Europe.[3][4] They form the largest panethnic group within Canada.

In the 2021 Canadian census, 19,062,115 people or 52.5% of the population self-identified ethnic origins from Europe.[5] 8,329,950 people or 22.9% of the population self-identified ethnic origins that were from North America and were not Indigenous. Most of these responses are not counted as visible minority by Statistics Canada (such as "Canadian" and "French Canadian" ethnic origin responses).[note 1] People may nominate more than one ethnic origin in the census.

In the 2021 Canadian census, 25,364,140 Canadians self-identified as White and mixed White, forming approximately 69.8 percent of the total Canadian population.[1][2] This included 24,493,090 people (67.4%) who were White only and 871,050 people (2.4%) who were White mixed with non-White groups.[1][2]
