From the Paper:

"Above all else, immigrants have created community in Canadian cities. "Canada is a county of immigrants. Hiller (2005, p. 118) states that "About 13 million immigrants arrived in this country in the twentieth century". Immigrants have produced very important effects on Canadian cities especially in terms of economic integration and improving the economy. As well as immigrants, other racial and ethnic groups have moved into cities. Some of these such as aboriginal youth would not be expected by all people to build community, but they produce a very positive effect on the city. Community is something that is created, and close ties can be either maintained or created at all levels of society."
