The Osgoode Professional Development Centre at One Dundas West is situated in the heart of downtown Toronto. As Canada’s economic capital with a multicultural spirit and cosmopolitan flare, Toronto is a great place to live, study and work.

More than 5.5 million people call the Greater Toronto Area home, making it the fifth largest metropolitan area in North America. Each year, some 100,000 new immigrants settle in the city that UNESCO rated the world’s most diverse. About 49% of Toronto’s residents were born outside of Canada, and the city works hard to bring a little piece of home to every one of its diverse communities. The city’s more than 7,000 restaurants reflect the tastes, cultures and ingredients of the world, and Toronto is the proud host of more than 1,000 world-class festivals, including the International Film Festival, Steelback Grand Prix of Toronto, Caribana and the Jazz Festival. It also has active sport and theatre scenes.

Toronto’s bustling finance district, just steps from the OPD Centre, is the gateway to a remarkably diverse economy that includes many leading law firms, the Toronto Stock Exchange – the world’s fifth largest – and a majority of Canada’s corporations. The city’s business capital ranks alongside economic powerhouses such as New York, Boston and Chicago.

To this, add a low crime rate, clean environment and a public transit system that earns the city a consistent rating as one of the most livable cities in the world.
