List of Turkish Canadians

The following is a list of Turkish Canadians, including both original immigrants of full or partial Turkish descent who obtained Canadian citizenship and their Canadian descendants.

Most notable Turkish Canadians have come from, or originate from, Turkey but there are also notable Canadians of Turkish origin who have immigrated from, or descend from, the other former Ottoman territories, especially Turks from the Balkans (e.g. Mesut Mert has a Turkish-Bulgarian background), the island of Cyprus (e.g. Ozay Mehmet and Anna Silk have a Turkish Cypriot background), the Levant, and North Africa (e.g. Nihal Mazloum, has a Turkish-Egyptian).

Some notable Turkish Canadians have also come to Canada from areas where there is a modern Turkish diaspora; for example, Viola Yanik has a Turkish-German background.
