South Sudanese Canadians are Canadians of South Sudanese ancestry, or a South Sudanese who has Canadian citizenship.
South Sudanese Canadians can also include children born in Canada to a Canadian parent and a South Sudanese parent.[citation needed]
South Sudanese Canadians immigrated to Canada in the 1980s and 1990s as refugees from Second Sudanese Civil War, which was a conflict from 1983 to 2005 between the central Sudanese government and the Sudan People's Liberation Army.[2]
