Of course immigrants from these places can be found elsewhere in Canada, much like how Chinese, Filipinos and Indians can be found in Montreal. But the relative proportions are quite different.

My two cents.

Comments from Torontonians/Vancouverites or ROCers in general à la "Montreal isn't diverse very all and has very few immigrants! I mean, where are all the dudes with turbans?" remind me of Americans who say Toronto and Vancouver aren't diverse because they don't have a ton of Hispanics or Black people, respectively.
