Survey of Muslims in Canada 2016

Muslims represent the fastest growing religious minority in Canada today, but their emerging presence has been contentious, fuelled in part by security concerns (in the long wake of 9/11) and some religious practices (e.g., Sharia law).

A diverse group of people hold signs supporting refugees at an outdoor rally in a city. Signs read “#Stand With Refugees,” “Canada Welcomes Refugees!” and “We’re no bigots—Canada is a home for refugees.”.

Survey of Canadian Muslims

The Institute’s first project was a national survey to examine the relationship between Canadian Muslims and Canadian society at large. This research was conducted as part of Environics Research FOCUS CANADA, and built upon an earlier study conducted by the US-based Pew Research Center with Muslims and non-Muslims that covered 13 countries (but not Canada).
