Number of LGBTQIA+ couples in Canada 2021, by type and province
In 2021, the Canadian government's national population census recorded 127,640 LGBTQIA+ couples. A large portion of these couples lived in the country's two most populous provinces, Ontario and Quebec. The majority of queer couples were composed of two cisgender women or two cisgender men (people whose gender matches the sex they were assigned at birth), but a quarter were transgender couples (people whose gender does not match the sex they were assigned at birth), or non-binary couples (people who are not exclusively male or female).
