According to the United Nations Development Programme, Toronto has the second-highest percentage of constant foreign-born population among world cities, after Miami, Florida. While Miami's foreign-born population consists mostly of Cubans and other Latin Americans, no single nationality or culture dominates Toronto's immigrant population, placing it among the most diverse cities in the world.[69]

Half the people in the City of Toronto are now foreign-born, according to 2006 Canadian census figures released yesterday, making it more diverse than Miami, Los Angeles or New York City.
LA doesn't come close, IMO, although I don't have any stats to back it up. That city has always seemed to me to be dominated by a select few ethnicities. You have to take some time to live in Toronto to really appreciate it.
