The housing situation and needs of recent immigrants in the Montréal Metropolitan Area : Situation résidentielle et les besoins en logement des immigrants récents dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal

5 Jan 2007

But especially, the picture of the housing situation of new immigrants supports the importance of performing a relatively detailed analysis of the respective housing situations of the different types of households (size and composition) beyond the consideration of their socio-economic conditions, which still remain structuring. [...] The report begins with a review of the history of immigration in the Montréal metropolitan area and recent trends in the Montréal housing market. [...] Therefore, the percentage of immigrants in the Montréal population matches the Canadian average instead of resembling the proportions seen in Toronto and in Vancouver. [...] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1.3, immigrants are largely concentrated in the centre of the region, that is to say on the Island of Montréal and in adjacent parts of the South Shore and Laval. [...] The concentration of immigration on the Island and its limited degree of dispersion on the Island, combined with the high diversity of countries of origin, has led to the proliferation of highly multi-ethnic neighbourhoods in both affluent and low-income areas.
