Latin Toronto’s ambassador to the mainstream

“The country’s Hispanic community now numbers between 700,000 and 900,000, with a recent influx of immigrants from Colombia, Mexico and Argentina. Last year alone, 19,362 immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean arrived in Canada, a dramatic increase compared with four years ago. In the last municipal election, Toronto elected its first Hispanic councillor, Cesar Palacio, who was born in Ecuador.

Many of the new immigrants are fleeing political instability as well as searching for economic opportunities for their families, bringing their money and expertise with them. More than half of all Hispanic immigrants settle in Ontario, mostly in the Greater Toronto Area.”
