Canada and Australia are very similar countries due to them sharing the same history of British settler colonialism, immigration trends, and overall population sizes that this becomes an easy pair of countries to compare when it comes to where each countries’ diasporas have a larger presence in.
Some trends we can observe here is that diasporas from the Americas and continental Europe are overwhelmingly larger in Canada than in Australia, and the same can be said for most of East/South/West Asia as well as the northern half of Africa.
However, diasporas from the Black/Mediterranean Sea, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, Southern Africa, and of course, the British Isles are larger in Australia than Canada.
