The City of Toronto is the cultural, entertainment and financial capital of Canada. The city is home to more than 2.7 million people and is the key to one of North America's most vibrant regions.
Toronto is the capital city of the Province of Ontario. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. As Canada's economic capital, Toronto is considered an alpha world city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) study group and is one of the top financial centres in the world. Toronto's leading economic sectors include finance, business services, telecommunications, aerospace, transportation, media, arts, film, television production, publishing, software production, medical research, education, tourism, engineering, and sports industries.
Since its incorporation, Toronto has repeatedly expanded its borders through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities, most recently in 1998. Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities by percentage of non-native-born residents, with about 49% of the population born outside Canada"
Members of the South Asian community are already the biggest visible-minority group in the Greater Toronto Area. There were 684,000 as of the 2006 census, a couple of hundred thousand more than the second biggest group: Chinese. Their numbers are expected to nearly triple by 2031, reaching around 2.1 million. By that time, a Statistics Canada report said last year, close to one in four people in the Toronto area will be of South Asian background. Chinese, by contrast, would number 1.1 million, double the current figure.
