"Si, si, Espanol! With a significant increase in Canada's Hispanic population predicted to be part of the 2001 census results, the time to evaluate the Spanish-speaking market is now" Marketing Magazine - June 3, 2002
"A recent Leger Marketing survey indicates that three-quarters of Canadians think immigrants make an economic contribution to the country…..the closer you look, the more you realize that immigrants, despite their disparate cultural interests, strengthen our common values in very deliberate and specific ways." Maclean's - April 29, 2002
The Hispanic population in Canada is considered to be close to a million people and recent influx of Hispanic professionals & investors has created many business opportunities. By 2015, Spanish is expected to become Toronto's second language. Want to learn how demographic changes in Canada can be translated into business? Interested in meeting potential business partners?
