A Chilean Canadian is a Canadian citizen of Chilean descent or a Chile-born person who resides in Canada. According to the 2011 Census there were 38140 Canadians who claimed full or partial Chilean ancestry. The first major wave of Chilean arrival in Canada began in the second half of the twentieth century. This wave is also the first great wave of Latin American immigrants in Canada and the third Latin American wave in that country (though the previous two were smaller).
