    This list comprises persons who belong to a visible minority group who have been elected to the federal House of Commons, legislative assemblies of provinces and territories, and members appointed to the Senate. Note that the term "visible minority" refers to Canadians who identify as neither white nor indigenous.
    The first visible minority elected was Chinese-Canadian Douglas Jung, elected as a Conservative MP to the House of Commons in the 1957 federal election.
    There have been 138 visible minorities who have served as Members of Parliament, as well as 32 who have been named senators. After the 2021 Canadian election, the highest number of visible minorities were elected to Parliament in history – with 53 MPs (15.7% of the House of Commons). As of November 2023, of the visible minority members of the 44th Canadian Parliament, 46 are Liberals (43 Liberal MPs, three Progressive Senators), ten are Conservatives (seven MPs, three Senators), three are New Democrats (three MPs) and 13 are Independents (two MPs, ten ISG Senators, one CSG Senator).
    Provincially and territorially, visible minorities have been elected to all 13 legislatures. As of December 2024, there are 117 visible minority politicians serving in 10 provincial/territorial legislatures. Of those members, 49 are New Democrats, 45 are Conservatives (24 Progressive Conservative, eight BC Conservative, six CAQ, five UCP, one Saskatchewan Party, one Yukon Party), 18 are Liberals (11 Liberal, seven Quebec Liberal), four represent Quebec sovereigntist parties (Québec Solidaire) and one is currently an independent (Sarah Jama).
