I would think that most people on a forum like this one would be aware that Toronto-Vancouver and Montreal often operate in pretty different spheres when it comes to where they draw their immigrants from.
Toronto is another story but I don't think Montreal is behind Vancouver in terms of immigration and certainly not well behind. Montreal has been getting more immigrants for a number of years I am pretty sure.
In any event, not sure what total immigrants really tells us anyway. If Nova Scotia were a sovereign country all of a sudden and it opened up the floodgates it could draw 100k immigrants a year to Halifax if it wanted to, simply by snapping its fingers.
