In the European sense, yes. However, those days have long passed for Northern Ontario. Their descendants became more-or-less stock Canadian, even if they still retain a Finnish or Eastern European last name. Immigration to the area essentially ceased post-1980 due to the region's flagging economy.
In the 'visible minority' modern sense? Not really (a few hardy exceptions aside - think PK Subban's father), aside from some Indigenous residents and the start of modern changing Canada arriving in recent years. The improved economy has helped. Northern Ontario is still closer to 1982 than 2022 in terms of demographics today.
