The Census Metropolitan Area of Montreal (also known as Greater Montreal Area) has a population of 3,635,700 in 2005 according to Statistics Canada ([3]). This total includes the neighbouring cities of Laval and Longueuil, as well as other smaller cities. Montreal proper, in its new city borders following the January 1, 2006 demerger, has a population of 1,583,590 (according to 2001 census figures). A resident of Montreal is known as a Montrealer in English and a Montréalais(e) in French. Residents sometimes refer to the city by the shorthand of MTL, or occasionally by the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport designation of YUL. The large population of Montreal justifies it having its own postal district, H span, together with Laval.
Most Montrealers speak French[4] as their first language while a minority speaks English as their first language. About 67.8% of the population of Montreal area is composed of francophones, 18.4% have neither French nor English as their first language and are called allophones, and 13.8% are anglophones. On the island of Montreal itself, these numbers change and francophones constitute only 53% of the population, allophones 29%, and anglophones 18%. However, the majority of residents have at least a working knowledge[5] of both languages, and a majority of allophones speak either English or French as a second language. This trend has increased after the French language supremacy proscriptions of the 1970s. Italian, Arabic, Greek, Portuguese, Spanish and Hindi are also very popular languages.
The Caucasian population is vastly decended from people of French, Irish, and Italian origin[6]. According to Statistics Canada 2001, the top four ethnic groups in the city are Canadian at 55.7% (1,885,085), French at 26.6% (900,485), Italian at 6.6% (224,460), and Irish at 4.7% (161,235). Statistics Canada concludes that those who identified themselves as Canadian are most likely of British, French or Irish origin whose families have been in Canada for many generations.
During the winter Montreal hosts Les Fete Des Neige from the end of January to the frist week of Febuary.
Montreal is a multi-ethnic city. Caucasians are the majority in the city but there are substantial groups of minorities.[7]
- White: 2,886,400 or 86.8%
- Blacks: 129,705 or 3.9%
- Arab: 67,830 or 2.0%
- Asian: 56,655 or 1.7%
- Chinese: 50,115 or 1.5%
- mixed race: 46,900 or 1.4%,
