Canada - Introduction

With a population of only 33 million, Canada boasts remarkably strong connections to Oxford. Our relationship is anchored in our people: students, academics, and alumni. The connection between Oxford and Canada also includes a number of vibrant research collaborations and a large branch of Oxford University Press.

Oxford has formal ties with the University of British Colombia (UBC) through its sister colleges, Green College at UBC and Green Templeton College at Oxford, both of which were partly funded by gifts from Dr Cecil Green, founder of Texas Instruments.

OUP Canada, founded in 1904, was the second OUP office to be established outside the UK and has its head office in Toronto. Its first Canadian title, The Oxford Book of Canadian Verse, was published in 1913. In addition to making available all OUP publications from the UK, the US, and other branches to Canada, the office also publishes materials within Canada itself. There are over 1,000 Canadian titles in print and approximately 100 new titles are published annually.
