57 percent of
Scarborough is made up of immigrants. At least, that is what a 2006 consensus
has determined. This article in the Toronto Observer, dives into the reasoning
of why Scarborough is the preferred place in Toronto to live. One of the big
reasons, is that Scarborough is known for its affordable housing.
“The abundance of
apartment lots is a major reason why immigrants flock to Scarborough. The area
has a lot of rental accommodations that are within the price range of
low-income Canadians” said Sumit Sen, who is the owner of SEN Immigration
agency and former United Nations aide.
Some other reasons
include accessibility to transportation (TTC), schools, shops and hospitals.
But also a huge reason is because of Scarborough’s abundance of ethnic communities.
It is easy for immigrants to feel welcome when they are surrounded by their
people.
