These different border configurations result in the GTA's population being higher than the Toronto CMA by nearly one-half million people often leading to confusion amongst people when trying to sort out Toronto's urban population Other nearby urban areas such as Hamilton Barrie or St Catharines-Niagara and Kitchener-Waterloo are not part of the GTA or the Toronto CMA but form their own CMAs near the GTA.
