OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS

Some lesser-known cities in southern Ontario and in western Canada have become hugely popular with immigrants. There are various reasons for these – such as proximity to the major cities, lower cost of living and a high percentage of people from the same community population living in the area.

In Hamilton, Ontario, for example, immigrants account for almost a quarter (24%) of the population. Among other popular destinations in Ontario are what are known as the ‘905’ regions which surround Toronto – Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, North York and Scarborough.

Elsewhere across Canada, there are big immigrant populations in Kitchener, Windsor and London (all in Ontario), Victoria (British Columbia) and Laval (Quebec).
