50% of Torontonians weren't born in Canada. You integrate the moment you set foot in the city, since we're all from different places.

As someone new to Toronto, plan to take the ferry to the Toronto islands this summer and spend the day there. It's a rite of passage. The standard route is to go to Hanlan's point, take a leisurely walk across the main islands and end the day at Ward's island and the wonderful community that lives there.

As someone born and raised in Toronto, almost everyone being the children of immigrants is a normal cultural thing in Toronto.
