Montreal Bohra Community — Québec, Canada

Montreal is home to one of Canada's established Dawoodi Bohra communities, with mumineen who arrived primarily from East Africa, India, and Pakistan from the 1970s onward. Many came via East Africa after the political upheavals there — particularly from Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The French-speaking city, with its cosmopolitan character, became an important node for Bohra community life in Québec, complementing the larger community in Toronto. The Dawat appointed an Aamil Saheb to serve the Québec region, with Montreal as the primary community centre. The community maintains a Bohra Masjid, holds regular majalis throughout the year, observes Ashara Mubaraka, and has welcomed the Dai al-Mutlaq on visits to Canada. Montreal's Bohra community is known for its warm hospitality and strong ties across generations.
