*During the 1950s, a large number of immigrants from the '''Azores and Madeira''', fleeing political conflict, moved into the downtown core of Canada's major cities such as the area of '''Portugal Village in Toronto, Ontario and further west along Dundas Street to Brockton Village'''. The stretch of Dundas Street passing through Brockton Village is also known as '''"Rua Açores"'''. From the 1970s, increasing numbers of Brazilians moved into this area. | |||
*The Toronto suburbs of Brampton and Mississauga contain large Portuguese communities. | |||
*'''Montreal''' has the second most populous number of Portuguese immigrants with an estimated 47,000. Most started immigrating in the 1960s and settled in the '''Le Plateau-Mont-Royal mainly around Saint Laurent Boulevard and Rachel Street'''. Many Portuguese stores and restaurants are located in '''Little Portugal'''. | |||

*British Columbia has around 35,000 Portuguese-Canadians, concentrated in the '''Lower Mainland (Vancouver, Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, Delta, Coquitlam)'''.
