Travel time from London to Toronto, Windsor, Niagara Falls and all closest border crossings is just under two hours.

With a population of more than 2.5 million people, Southwestern Ontario offers incredible opportunities for newcomers to work, raise a family and create a better life. Known as the industrial heartland of Ontario,  the southwest has a strong manufacturing base combined with technological, financial service, farming and agribusiness sectors. A vibrant, knowledge-based economy and an educated, well-trained workforce complement our industrial heritage. We are home to numerous universities and colleges, outstanding research institutes and health care facilities recognized world-wide for research, teaching and care.
