The rise will be greatest in Ottawa (80 per cent, to 500,000 adults), followed by Toronto and Vancouver (64 per cent, to nearly 3.2 million and 1.3 million, respectively), and Montreal (20 per cent, to more than 1.8 million.)

"These new numbers challenge the popular belief that the state of literacy in Canada will improve over time given Canada's growth in post-secondary graduates," said Dr. Paul Cappon, chief executive of the Canadian Council on Learning.

In Montreal, the estimates signal improvements among the city's immigrant population, with a projected 10-per-cent decline in the proportion of immigrant adults with low-literacy skills.
Cappon said Quebec's strong policies on second or third language acquisition may be another reason Montreal is projected to fare better.

While the total proportion of immigrants with low literacy skills is expected to decrease over a 30-span, the absolute number is expected to rise by 61 per cent — to more than 5.7 million by 2031. Cappon said Canada must do a much better job in ensuring that immigrants have literacy skills in one or both of the country's official languages.
