<P> Despite being based on life in the Greek community of Winnipeg , the film was set in Chicago and shot in both Toronto and Chicago . Toronto 's Ryerson University and Greektown neighborhood feature prominently in the film . The home used to depict Gus and Maria Portokalos 's residence ( as well as the home bought next door at the end of the film for Toula and Ian ) is located on Glenwood Crescent just off O'Connor Drive in East York . The real home representing the Portokalos ' residence actually has most of the external ornamentation that was shown in the film . Also , some minor parts of the movie were shot in Jarvis High School in Toronto . </P>
