Somalia's population = 55 million?

[aero]

USA: 120,840 <--- I'm sure the Somali community in the United States is greater than that.

Somalia population is 8 million with probably another 5 million in the other East African countries.

 

However, the Somali population in Canada is 200,000. Not 90,000. We are the largest Somali community in the diaspora

 

Here is the Canadian Immigration Minister saying so himself.

 

I know that many of you are Canadians who came to this country, many of you probably as refugees, from Somalia. Canada is proud to have received over 200,000 newcomers, mainly but not exclusively refugees, from Somalia.

The expatriates, including reputedly some among the 200,000 Somalis living in Canada, offer funds, equipment and information in exchange for a cut of the ransoms, according to those familiar with the phenomenon.

http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2008/12/11/somali_pirates_get_help_from_expats_in_canada.html

 

It is estimated there are more than 100,000 Somalis in the U.S. and between 150,000 to 200,000 in Canada.

http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/gazette/vol73n2/esubmission-ereportage6-eng.htm

 

With almost 200,000 Somalis living in Canada - most having arrived as refugees since the country last had a national government 15 years ago - federal officials say they are closely following developments.

In his testimony, Hussen portrayed Canada's estimated 200,000 Somalis as struggling to fit into mainstream Canadian society since fleeing civil war in the late 1990s.

http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Somali+Canadian+women+recruited+terror+group+politicians+told/5169114/story.html

 

A member of Canada’s Cross Cultural Roundtable on Security, Mr. Hussen said extremists were exploiting “growing pains” in Canada’s 200,000-strong Somali community, which he said suffers from greater poverty and unemployment than most Canadians.

In fact, 100,000 live in Toronto.

 

About 80,000 of Toronto’s 100,000 residents of Somali background live in north Etobicoke.

Those Somali Canadian figures are bogus and the only source for them is the Canadian Somali Congress, which can not be considered an accurate source as it would be in their interest to inflate numbers.

 

According to the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, there were 24000 Somalis who entered the country as refugees between 1989 and 2011.

 

The Canadian Census of 2011 has 3 language classifications that can be used to determine how many Somalis there are in Canada. These are the Mother Tongue, the language most often spoken at home and other language spoken at home. For Canada, the Somali numbers for these are 31 380, 21 665 and 9 725 respectively, while for Greater Toronto Area they are 14 010, 9 870 and 4 845.

 

The latter two options make the first one redundant in the case of Somalis, so with 31390 and 14715 people who identify themselves as speaking Somali as either a primary or secondary language at home, how can anyone claim there are 200,000+ Somalis living in Canada?

The first link I gave you was the speech given by the Canadian Immigration minister. It is from a government website.

 

Are you telling me you know more than the Canadian Immigration minister? Does the Canadian immigration minister need to consult with some Somali dude to know the amount of Somalis that live in Canada? Isn't that his job?

 

The other link I gave was from the RCMP, the federal police.
