Toronto’s Persian Community

Canada is a familiar name to many Iranians, as most either know someone who has immigrated there or are acquainted with someone who knows an immigrant to Canada. Toronto is the most popular city for Iranian immigrants, and it’s home to about 47% Iranian immigrants who have immigrated to Canada. In some areas of the city, the population of Iranian citizens is so dense that you won’t feel like a foreigner. One of these areas that makes you feel at home is North York, on Yonge Avenue. When you walk up on the side of this avenue, you can see signs and banners in Persian, smell original Iranian dishes, and hear people speaking in Persian.

Health Care Services

Have a toothache? Why go to a Canadian dentist when you can find a Persian dentist who can pass comforting chit-chats while you’re lying on the dental chair? At the very least, it can take your mind off things for a couple of minutes.

Real Estate Agencies

Are you looking to buy a house? You can’t find a better Person to negotiate the price with than a Persian real estate agent. The good news is, they won’t get easily offended when you try to bargain over the price. Also, they’ll make more of an effort to find the right home for you and offer more favorable terms for someone who speaks their language.

Persian Restaurants and Cafes

Want a taste of home? The last thing you need to worry about in Toronto is the experience of having an original Iranian dish. There are many family-owned and big fancy restaurants that can put whatever Iranian food you like on your table. You can find anything from a humble Stanboli to greasy kebabs with pickled fruits and vegetables that take you back to family gatherings at your grandparents’ home.

Cultural Events and Celebrations

Looking for cultural events? That’s an easy one to find since many Iranian stars, authors, and top musicians have immigrated to Canada. Even those who haven't immigrated hold concerts in Canada from time to time, so you won’t feel left out. Finally, for those who don’t want to give up on their Persian heritage and want to pass it to the next generation, there are educational and art centers where you can send your kid to learn the Persian language or learn to play a Persian musical instrument. After all, who can teach the Persian language or a Persian musical instrument better than a Persian teacher or music master?
