There is a large Seikh population directly north of the airport. Following a path that a large aircraft would take to land at Pearson, we travel backwards along its line of approach: to the east is the Hwy 27 and Finch area (poor areas, high crime, 99.99% foreigners and recent immigrants from middle east), further east is the Jane & Finch area (same immigrant population, high crime area), through to Keele & Steeles (a bit better, not much). This is where the paths taken by approaching aircraft diverge, holding patterns break for aircraft "cleared to land".
In fact 70% of the population of Toronto are not native-born Canadians. They come from other countries. That's 70% of 2 million people, about 5% of Canada's total population. They tend to move into Canada, move straight into the city, to the nearest immigrant neighborhood, and take the first factory job they can find. Those low-paying jobs support a lifestyle of poverty, keep them living in the same neighborhoods. They never become Canadians, surrounded by their own people, in spite of the fact that their official status may change after years of living here.
Frankly, I'm not terribly impressed with the quality of people the government is letting into Canada. And govt officials are letting in 250,000 more each year, totally ignoring the sky-high 8% unemployment rate and across-the-board hiring freezes in industry.
