In 2007, which statement about immigrant settlement in Canada is true?

• A. Montréal received 39%.
• B. Toronto received 32%.
• C. Vancouver received 15%.
• D. The rest of Canada, taken together, received 32%.

Answer: (D)

Understanding how newcomers settle across Canada is about looking at where people choose to put down roots, not just in the biggest cities. In 2007, a large flow of immigrants did go to major urban centers, but a substantial portion chose locations outside those metros. The statement that the rest of Canada, taken together, received 32% captures that spread: about one-third of newcomers settled outside Montréal, Toronto, and Vancouver. This reflects how settlement patterns involve many provinces and smaller cities, influenced by local job opportunities, community networks, and provincial programs that encourage dispersal beyond the largest cities. So, that distribution matches the overall picture of immigrant settlement for that year.
