This is an interesting little article I found on CBC's website. Perhaps I will have an interesting experience. An interesting fact to note is that about 2 million of the cities 4.7 million are immigrants. Second only to Miami.

Toronto lands second on list of migrant cities
Toronto - Toronto is second only to Miami, Florida in terms of total migrant populations according to a new study released by the United Nations Thursday.
The U.N. Human Development Index estimates that 44 per cent of Torontonians were born in another country, placing it second to Miami on a list of Top 10 migrant cities.
Miami topped the annual list with 59 per cent of the population born elsewhere, primarily in Latin America, Cuba and other Caribbean islands.
In Toronto the largest migrant groups consisted of people from Asian countries including China, India and Pakistan.
The study shows about two million of the city's 4.7-million population was born abroad.
Vancouver ranked fourth on the list with a 37 per cent migrant population, just behind Los Angeles, Ca., which boasts a migrant population of 41 per cent.
New York City also landed on the Top 10 list with 36 per cent, while Singapore, Sydney, Abidjan, London and Paris rounded out the list.
The U.N. report, which was released on Thursday, placed Canada fourth overall among 177 countries in terms of health, education, life expectancy, income, poverty levels and environmental quality.
