Histoire de l’immigration
The 1956 revolution was a very important milestone in the relationship between Canada and Hungary. There are currently 350,000 people living in Canada who claim to be of Hungarian descent. Most Hungarian immigrants arrived after the Second World War, the number of those who arrived after the 1956 revolution hovered around 100,000. In 1956-57, Canada acted very quickly and decided to accept all Hungarian refugees and to help Hungarians settle in the country by involving civil organizations. In the history of the country, this was the first such large wave of refugees that took place in an extremely short time. During this time, Canada developed and set up a model that has been an important basis for the country's immigration policy ever since.

Fondation Rákóczi
The Canadian Rákóczi Foundation works to help Hungarian students abroad. The main objective of the Foundation is to maintain the sense of Hungarianness among youth of Hungarian origin worldwide, through the support of students. At the same time, our goal is to destroy the obstacles (misinformation, isolation) that have made it difficult for people living in separated areas to belong together, to love each other, to live in the spirit of openness and tolerance.
