There are over 1,100 Canadians living in Turkey , the majority of which are based in Ankara and Istanbul according to the Registration of Canadians Abroad (ROCA) and the local Canadian embassy and consulates in the country.[1] In recent years, the number of Canadians settling within Turkey has seen a sharp rise[2] with the country continuing to be one of the fastest-rising destinations for Canadians heading overseas.[3] The growing figures have been linked as a proponent for the skyrocketing ratio of Canadian tourists choosing to visit Turkey each year.[2] In 2009, approximately 150,000 Canadians had been to Turkey, an increase from the 39,000 in 1995.[3]
There are a number of community organisations and set-ups, such as the Professional American Women of Istanbul (PAWI), a network of American and Canadian women living in Istanbul and The Professional and Fabulous (PAF) group, which is a breakaway from the former and also mostly made up of expatriate women of U.S. and Canadian origin living in Turkey.[4] [5]
