MTM Newcomers is the only media and technology survey on newcomers in Canada.

It will be conducted in 12 different languages: English, French, Tagalog, Cantonese, Mandarin, Punjabi, Arabic, Spanish, Amharic, Hindi, Ukrainian and Swahili.
MTM Newcomers is part of the Media Technology Monitor (MTM). The MTM is the highest quality media study in Canada. Over the past 15 years, the MTM has spoken with over 140,000 Canadians, making it the most accurate and comprehensive media technology tracking survey of its kind.

The general MTM Survey has been conducted every year for 15 years, but this is the first time a study this large has ever focused on newcomers and media in Canada. By completing this survey, you are playing a very important role in helping to give newcomers a voice and making their practices better understood by policymakers and media companies.
Government and private sector organizations will use the findings from the MTM Newcomer survey. For example, findings from this survey will help the Canadian government have a more accurate picture of newcomers as a group and their technology usage, such as internet access, ownership of cell phones, subscription to cable, social media and TV consumption. This will inform better policies and improve how they communicate information to you and other newcomers on topics such as public health, immigration, and settlement. It will also help social services and media companies develop better strategies for creating content and sharing news and information that is relevant and convenient for newcomers.
