This is how it works in the United States. Cities like Nashville or Austin are the boomtowns, not New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles.
There will always be some amenities and jobs that the smaller cities lack but I don't believe these are important to the bulk of new immigrants to Canada. The median newcomer to Canada will not be a regular at the opera or in expensive restaurants or get a job as the CEO of a bank.
