Canada is home to many dynamic and exciting cities that offer a high quality of life and new opportunities in safe urban settings. Cities like Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Halifax attract thousands upon thousands of visitors and new residents per year—and Toronto, the country’s largest and most diverse metropolis, draws the most people of all. If you’re trying to decide which city you should relocate to, here are five reasons why Toronto should be at the top of your list.

Multiculturalism

Toronto has long been labeled as one of the most multicultural cities in the world, as well as being among the safest metropolitan areas in North America. With over 140 languages and dialects spoken around the city, over half of Toronto’s population was born outside of Canada and has contributed to the creation of communities like Chinatown, Little Italy, and Greektown.

Neighborhoods

With 230 neighborhoods in the Greater Toronto Area, the variety is something for which the city has become known and celebrated. Each with its own distinct character, style, and architecture, there’s bound to be at least one that you feel an immediate connection to—whether it’s in the bustling downtown area, like the Annex or Yorkville, Scarborough in the east, or Etobicoke in the west.

Dining

The dining scene has really taken off in Toronto in recent years, to the extent that the city can truly be said to offer world-class dining experiences. Shaped by the ethnic neighborhoods mentioned above, Toronto has also attracted many celebrated chefs who have established innovative and popular restaurants throughout the city. Examples include Fabbrica by Mark McEwan in Don Mills and Fring’s by Sursur Lee on King West, as well as Rob Rossi’s Best Ellen in Little Portugal.

Natural location

The natural features that are woven through the city might not be as striking or immediately recognizable as other cities such as Vancouver. However, from the Scarborough Bluffs to the long lake shore and its beaches to the city’s 29 interconnected ravines and the Humber and Don Rivers, the city has plenty to offer as a major city in the Great Lakes region. The city also links to the Niagara Escarpment and Oak Ridges Moraine bio-regions. Additionally, being in Toronto keeps you easily connected to other major cities in northeastern North America, including New York, Boston, and Montreal.
