In terms of referring to "tiers" I often see tiers including more than 3 items.
One thing that needs to be clarified in the discussions regarding diversity includes distinction between made in terms of diversity of ethnicities (e.g. they could be US, Canadian or UK citizens, but of vary ethnicities) vs. mulitnationals livings in say New York or London where there are US or UK citizens of varying background, but also multinational (non-US or non-UK citizens who are posted in New York or London for work, but may also reside in other cities outside of New York or London). In that respect, I believe New York and London are a bit above Toronto as I believe they also have higher degree of multinationals than Toronto given that New York and London are rated as an "Alpha ++ World City" while Toronto is listed as an "Alpha + World City" (in part, I believe there are a higher degree of multinationals in New York and London).

Well yes it is true, that London and NYC are worlds financial centres so there are many people living there for few months in year also the whole UN thing and being important capital city for London.
Toronto is not up there in prestige, worldwide fame and status and never will be there.
After all NYC and London are the 2 only Alpha++ cities for a reason.
