Through the use of various published and original sources this study outlines the reception and settlement of Italian immigrants in a modern Canadian urban environment. Substantial Italian migration and immigration to Toronto began in the late nineteenth century. The first migrants and immigrants were dispersed across at least four relatively distinct, inner-city neighbourhoods. Over time, and in particular after World War Two, one of these neighbourhoods grew to become one of the largest settlements of its type outside of Italy. Now in the process of gentrification, the area known as College Street Little Italy served a pivotal role in the accommodation of Italian immigrants in Toronto.

Thousands of randomly manipulated resumes were sent in response to online job postings in Toronto to investigate why immigrants, allowed in based on skill, struggle in the labor market. The study finds substantial discrimination across a variety of occupations towards applicants with foreign experience or those with Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, and Greek names compared with English names. Listing language fluency, multinational firm experience, education from highly selective schools, or active extracurricular activities had no diminishing effect. Recruiters justify this behavior based on language skill concerns but fail to fully account for offsetting features when listed. (JEL J15, J24, J61)

The Census of Population is held across Canada every 5 years and collects data about age and sex, families and households, language, immigration and internal migration, ethnocultural diversity, Aboriginal peoples, housing, education, income, and labour. City of Toronto Neighbourhood Profiles use this Census data to provide a portrait of the demographic, social and economic characteristics of the people and households in each City of Toronto neighbourhood. The profiles present selected highlights from the data, but these accompanying data files provide the full data set assembled for each neighbourhood. For an interactive visualization of this data, visit the Neighbourhood Profiles webpage. In these profiles, "neighbourhood" refers to the City of Toronto's 158 social planning neighbourhoods. These social planning neighbourhoods were developed in the late 1990s by the City of Toronto to help government and community organizations with local planning by providing socio-economic data at a meaningful geographic area. The boundaries of these social planning neighbourhoods are consistent over time, allowing for comparison between Census years. Neighbourhood level indicators from sources other than the Census of Population are also available through the City's Wellbeing Toronto mapping application and here on the Open Data portal. Each data point in this file is presented for the City's 158 neighbourhoods or 140 neighbourhoods prior to April 2021. The data is sourced from a number of Census tables released by Statistics Canada. The general Census Profile is the main source table for this data. Data tables are available for the Census years of 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021. For definitions of terms and concepts referenced in this data set, as well as limitations imposed by rounding, data suppression standards, and geometry, users should consult the reference materials produced by Statistics Canada for the 2016 Census or the 2021 Census. Please note that social planning neighbourhoods are not an official standard geography produced by Statistics Canada and the data herein is compiled by special request through the Community Data Program.
