demographics2.4 Demographic growth factorsGreater Montréal ranks 6 th in North America for international immigrationGreater Montréal is one of numerous metropolitan areas that are losing part of their population in domestic migrationexchanges (internal migration) and are relying on natural growth (number of births compared to number of deaths) andinternational immigration to expand demographically. This is the case, in particular, for Toronto and Vancouver, in Canada, andall metropolitan areas in the U.S. Northeast.However, few areas can boast international immigration as the main factor behind demographic growth: other than GreaterMontréal, this can be said only of Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Miami (the sole U.S. metropolitan area able to make thisclaim). Greater Montréal ranks 6 th in North America for international immigration, with average annual net internationalimmigration of just over 37,000 people in the 2004-2009 period. In 2006, about one resident in five in the area (21%) hadbeen born outside the country.Demographic growth factors,2004-2009Average annual net international immigration,2004-200914Los AngelesNew YorkDetroitMiamiClevelandChicagoSan DiegoSan FranciscoTorontoGreater MontréalBostonWashingtonBaltimorePhiladelphiaSt. LouisPittsburghVancouverMinneapolisCincinnatiSacramentoQuébecOttawa-GatineauSeattleDenverHoustonRiversidePortlandDallasTampaEdmontonCalgaryAtlantaPhoenixNaturalgrowthInternationalmigrationInternalmigration- 100 - 50 0 50 100 150 200(Rate per thousand)N.B.: For Greater Montreal, data are at the CMA level.Sources: Statistics Canada, Annual Demographic Estimates: Subprovincial Areas, 2004to 2009; US Census Bureau, Annual Estimates of the Population of Metropolitan andMicropolitan Statistical Areas: 2000 to 2009.

2006-2031 outlook: Demographic growthstimulated primarily by internationalimmigration in the centre of the area, andby intraprovincial migration and naturalgrowth on the North and South ShoresAccording to projections by the Institut de la statistiquedu Québec, demographic growth between 2006 and 2031should be stimulated primarily by international immigration,especially in the area’s centre (the Montréal agglomeration),but also in Longueuil agglomeration and Laval. On theNorth and South Shores, however, natural growth andintraprovincial migration should continue to be the mainengines of demographic growth.Central sectors losing populationto the outskirtsWhile the great majority of immigrants choose the Montréalagglomeration as their place of residence, every yearMontréal Island loses part of its population to the othergeographic sectors of the area. Laval and the Longueuilagglomeration, although benefiting from positive netmigration flows with Montréal Island, are also losing someof their population to the North and South Shores.This “leap-frog” urbanization dynamic extends to thearea adjoining 3 Greater Montréal, which posts positivenet migration with Greater Montréal, especially with theMontréal agglomeration and the North and South Shores.demographicsComponents of projected demographicgrowth, 2006-2031, Greater Montréal’s fivegeographic sectorsAnnual average net migration: Greater Montréalsectors, area adjoining Greater Montréal and rest ofQuebec, 2000-2009MontréalagglomerationLavalLongueuilagglomerationNorthShoreSouthShoreNatural growthNet intraprovincialmigrationNet interprovincialmigrationNet internationalmigration15- 750,000 - 500,000 - 250,000 0 250,000 500,000 750,000 1,000,000(Number of people)Source: Institut de la statistique du Québec, Perspectives démographiquesdu Québec et des régions, 2006-2056, édition 2009.Calculations by the CMM, 2010.Montréalagglo.Longueuilagglo.LavalNorthShoreSouthShoreAdjoiningmunicipalitiesRest ofQuebecMontréalagglomeration... -2,490 -6,790 -4,650 -4,310 -1,620 370Longueuilagglomeration2,490 ... -30 -150 -1,870 -630 -510Laval 6,790 30 ... -3,100 -140 -700 -420North Shore 4,650 150 3,100 ... 40 -1,560 -480South Shore 4,310 1,870 140 -40 ... -1,340 -600Adjoiningmunicipalities1,620 630 700 1,560 1,340 ... -20Rest ofQuebec-370 510 420 480 600 20 …Source: Institut de la statistique du Québec, special compilation based on theinsured persons registration file (FIPA) of the Régie de l’assurance maladie duQuébec (RAMQ). Calculations by the CMM, 2010.3 As is the case on page 16, the area adjoining Greater Montréal here includes the 56 municipalities covered by Origin-Destination Survey 2008 not forming part of theCMM, the six municipalities outside the CMM belonging to the Rouville RCM (which Highway 10 and Route 112 cross), the ten other municipalities bordering theCMM, and Joliette and Saint-Hyacinthe, two regional hubs less than 15 kilometres from CMM boundaries. Overall, these municipalities adjacent to Greater Montréalrepresented a population of 556,000 in 2006.
