Is Recent Immigrant Clustering in Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver Part of the Reason Behind Declining Immigrant Neighbourhood Quality?
In recent decades, nearly three-fourths of all Canadian immigrant arrivals have gone to Montréal, Toronto, or Vancouver. Their impact in these cities can not be overstated; during 1996 to 2001, Montréal gained 126,000 newcomers, Vancouver attracted 180,000, and Toronto received a substantial 445,000 new arrivals, or roughly 10 per cent of its overall population.
