Living in Mississauga

Mississauga is a large Canadian city with a population of 717,961. It neighbours the City of Toronto and is part of the Regional Municipality of Peel. It's attractive to people from around the world because of its quality lifestyle, community programs, leisure programs and welcoming atmosphere.
 

Job Market

Mississauga has a diverse business community that makes up some of the largest knowledge-based industries in Canada. Key sectors include advanced manufacturing, financial services, information & communications technology, life sciences and logistics.

                        
Housing Market
 
Mississauga's population is growing and this continues to drive the demand for housing and rising housing costs. However, the housing prices are slightly more affordable compared to Toronto. Housing costs depend on various factors including housing options and whether you choose to rent or buy your own house. Visit the Rentals for Newcomers booth for more information about Mississauga's rental housing market. 
 

Newcomer Support

Newcomer services can help you find information about health care, schools, housing, banking, employment, and more. To learn more about newcomer support in Mississauga, be sure to connect with May Tartoussy from the Peel Multicultural Council.
