It is estimated that Hispanic people migrated to Toronto during the 1960-70's. When the Spanish first came to Toronto, they mainly located themselves in the west part of Toronto. This has changed over the years. The widespread of Hispanic immigrants has placed Spanish in the top ten languages spoken in Toronto today. Now, a mass majority of Hispanic immigrants have established themselves along Bathurst Street, between College and Bloor Street.

There are social institutions that help with the preservation of the Spanish language. Such institutions that are provided for the general public of Toronto, are St. James, Our lady of Guadalupe, St. Anthony, St. Augustine of Canterbury, and St. John the Baptist parish. Besides Churches, the city of Toronto offers social institutions such as community centers, and non-profit organizations. The main objective of such facilities is to help new comers with their necessities, such as; housing, translators, educational workshops, youth programs, work resources, and volunteer opportunities. York community center, and CSSP Non-Profit Organization offer such services.

There are Spanish publishing's in Toronto such as "La Guia" and "Latinos" that link the Spanish speakers in Toronto to their native country. The news that is included in these magazines are events from Canada and from Latin American countries. There are also T.V. and radio stations that are offered in Spanish such as; TLN, T.O Latino, Univision and 24 radio stations which broadcast Spanish music, events, sports announcements etc.
