Many Canadians believe that human trafficking is mainly an international issue. Yet, trafficking is a major concern right here in Canada. The vast majority of trafficking cases that occur in Canada are domestic. In Ontario, where the highest number of trafficking cases occur, at least 63% of those trafficked were Canadian citizens.

In Canada, around 70% of human trafficking cases are committed for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
