Bosnia and Herzegovina to Canada

Each year, Canada welcomes people from other countries who move here to begin a new life. Our people have been immigrating to Canada for a long time; however, after the outbreak of Civil War in 1992, we came to Canada in larger in numbers as refugees. Some are now joined by family members. Although this cultural profile provides insights into some customs, it does not cover all facts of life. The customs described may not apply in equal measure to all newcomers from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
