About Laotian Canadians or Lao people living in Canada.
Between 1975 and 1980 after the
Indochina war there was a mass migration of Lao's people leaving the
country to the refugee's camps in Thailand. Many of them stayed in the
camp up to two or three years before they were accepted to go to the
third countries like Australia, Canada, France, Germany and USA.

Going to Canada was not easy,
for those who were accepted to go to Canada have been selected either
by government-sponsored or private-sponsored. Canadian's government at
that time only accepted young Lao's families and very few elderly
people were taken there. According to Canadian census in 2006 there
were 20,110 Laos Canadians living all over the country.

people in Canada are living in Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg. These
people still practice and believe in Buddhism. Older people still
follow Lao traditions and customs as they were living in Laos. Here is
one of many Lao's temples in Canada that they have built. This temple
is called "Wat Veluwanaram" and it's located in Ontario.
