Diaspora [edit]
Many Jamaicans now live overseas and outside of Jamaica, the majority have migrated to Anglophone countries, including some 900,000 Jamaicans in the United Kingdom, around 850,000 Jamaicans in the United States and 231,110 in Canada.
Within the Caribbean , there are reportedly 30,000 Jamaicans in the Dominican Republic[2] and an equal number residing in other CARICOM members states[3] (mainly in the Bahamas (with 5,600),[4] Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago). [3] Cuba meanwhile is host to 5,000 Jamaicans.[5]
