In 2007, among Canadian immigrant destinations, which city had the largest share?

• A. Montreal
• B. Toronto
• C. Vancouver
• D. Calgary

Answer: (B)

Immigrants tend to settle where there are strong job opportunities, existing communities, and helpful services. In 2007, Toronto stood out as the main entry point and settlement city in Canada because it was the country’s economic hub with a diverse range of industries, large job markets, and well-developed networks of immigrant communities. These factors make it easier for newcomers to find work, connect with people who share language or cultural background, and access needed services.

Montreal and Vancouver are also major destinations with vibrant communities and resources, but their share was smaller than Toronto’s that year. Calgary was growing but hadn’t yet surpassed Toronto's level of immigrant settlement in 2007. So Toronto is the city with the largest share of immigrants in 2007.
