, which explores the scope of rental market discrimination faced by New Canadians, defined as those who have arrived in Canada in the last 10 years. Insights included in the report are reflective of an audit undertaken by a diverse team of CCHR staff, research assistants, and volunteers earlier this year. The research team inquired about over 1,300 rental listings across the Toronto area.
“As a result of carrying out the audit, we found that racialized newcomers to Toronto face a high degree of discrimination in the rental housing market. This was further confirmed by a survey and interviews in which newcomers shared the myriad challenges they experienced trying to access housing in Toronto’s rental sector.”
Over the course of the audit, female callers with accents presenting as racialized faced 62% more discrimination compared to female callers without accents, while male callers with accents faced a 267% increase in discrimination. In addition, racialized female auditors who disclosed caring for a child faced a staggering 563% increase in discriminatory treatment compared to those who did not disclose parental status.
