SOC338H1: Immigrants in Toronto

24L/12T

Canada aims to attract another 1.45 million immigrants by 2025. Known as the most multicultural city in the world, Toronto receives about half of the new immigrants each year. How inclusive has Toronto been as a destination for new arrivals? What challenges do immigrants face today? What happens when immigrants – who are Canada’s answer to an aging society – age and retire themselves? In this course, we examine the history of immigrants in Toronto, analyze the well-being of various immigrant groups, and look for solutions to social injustice that immigrants face.
