In 2007, Montréal accounted for what share of total immigration in Canada?

• A. 15%
• B. 39%
• C. 14%
• D. 32%

Answer: (A)

The concept here is how immigration to Canada is spread across its major cities. In 2007, Montréal accounted for about 15% of all immigrants to the country. That means roughly one-sixth of newcomers chose Montréal, highlighting that Montréal was a major destination but not the sole or overwhelming share. Immigration tends to be distributed among several big cities, with other centers like Toronto and Vancouver also attracting large numbers for work, family, and language considerations. This figure illustrates how regional patterns—such as Montréal’s role as Quebec’s gateway and a hub for French-speaking immigrants—fit into the national picture, showing that newcomers settle across multiple urban areas rather than all in one city.
