Indian Canadians are Canadians who have ancestry from India. The term East Indian is sometimes used to avoid confusion with Indigenous groups. Categorically, Indian Canadians comprise a subgroup of South Asian Canadians which is a further subgroup of Asian Canadians. As of the 2021 census, Indians are the second largest non-European ethnic group in the country group after Chinese Canadians and form the fastest growing national origin in Canada.[6][7] Canada's census only counts citizens and permanent residents, and does not include non-permanent or temporary residents.

Canada contains the world's seventh-largest Indian diaspora. The highest concentrations of Indian Canadians are found in Ontario and British Columbia, followed by growing communities in Alberta and Quebec as well, with the majority of them being foreign-born.[7]
