An astounding number of Indians have successfully contributed to making the city the melting-pot of multiple cultures that it is today. The figures are 79, 225 excluding the several multiples of this figure claiming the heritage of India.

The Greater Toronto Area (excludes Toronto)

GTA or Greater Toronto Area is the heartland of Canada if Toronto is its economic engine. All types of manufacturing jobs are abundant in cities from Oakville to Brampton. Several tech firms are now recognizing the advantages offered by the wider GTA. The area is thus quickly emerging as a big hub for fresh immigrants to Canada, especially from India.

To be very specific, Indian communities in Canadian areas like Brampton, Mississauga, and Markham are not a new phenomenon. They have been based in these regions for more than forty years as a matter of fact. However, their considerable growth has been witnessed in recent years.

Cost of living is the chief attraction of other areas in the outskirts of GTA over Toronto including Brampton, Mississauga, and Markham. The monthly rent of 1 bedroom apartment in Brampton is roughly $ 1,542 and nearly $ 1,886 in Mississauga. Both the statistics are favorable in comparison with Toronto Downtown.

Vancouver

Currently, 125,000 plus Indian citizens are based in Vancouver and adjacent areas with Permanent Resident status. The city has quite evident attractions for immigrants from India as it is a major player in the VFX and Film industries.

Vancouver also boasts of extensive opportunities in Financial Services, Health Sciences, Construction, Engineering, and other sectors. Many employers in these sectors consider highly skilled graduates from India to be a perfect match even as they look for motivated and experienced candidates.

The city has a blend of temperate climate and astounding scenic natural locations for travel enthusiasts. It is thus very evident why several fresh immigrants from India opt for the largest city in British Columbia. However, accommodation in the city is one catch.

Calgary

Nearly 50,000 Indian nationals have settled in the Metropolitan Area of Calgary. Several more thousands of students and temporary workers in the city make Calgary the third most favored city for immigrants from India.

Roughly 1.3 million inhabitants in Calgary make it the 4th largest Metropolitan Area in Canada. For Indian migrants with Mining, Engineering, and corresponding backgrounds, the city is a major attraction.

Calgary is roughly in the middle of the order when it comes to the other cities in Canada. While it is affordable in comparison with Vancouver and Toronto, it is expensive in comparison with Montreal, Winnipeg, and Atlantic cities. A 1 bedroom apartment in any of the central neighborhoods in Calgary will cost you monthly $ 1,200.  

Edmonton

On the North American continent, Edmonton is the most northerly large city and currently it has several thousands of Indian nationals. It is also the city of Hockey legend Wayne Gretsky who played and won several Stanley Cups for the Edmonton Oilers.

Edmonton has a daily average temperature of roughly minus 11.7 Degree Celsius in the month of January. This is something that you have to consider if cold is a concern for you and especially if you are landing directly from India.

The city has much to offer to immigrants from India from the perspective of employment. It is also an Oil hub similar to Calgary and offers several opportunities in the Engineering, Construction, and associated sectors. Edmonton also fares quite well in terms of living costs in comparison with the top 3 cities in Canada.
