The number of Canadian citizens of Breton descent cannot be determined through census statistics, however the Amicale des Parents d’Émigrés d’Amérique du Nord (Association of Relatives of Emigrants to North America), an organization headquartered in Gourin, Brittany, has estimated that around 45,000 Bretons immigrated to Canada between the years of 1870 and 1980 and that 8,000 Breton-Canadians live or work in the Montreal area.
