Non-permanent residents
The estimates are produced by Demography Division using the Global Case Management System (GCMS) files from IRCC. These files, received by October 16, 2018, document the number of persons holding permits/authorizations or claiming refugee status.
Emigration and returning emigrants
For the subprovincial areas, the components (emigration and returning emigrants) are extracted from tax files by broad age groups and sex. They are calculated using the T1 Family File (T1FF) provided by the Income Statistics Division of Statistics Canada. The data is then broken down by single year of age and sex based on the provincial and territorial distribution. To ensure their consistency, the estimates are subsequently controlled to the provincial and territorial totals.
Net temporary emigrants
Statistics Canada, Demography Division – based on data from the Reverses Record Check (RRC) for the 2016 Census, and the 2016 Census. Data were broken down by region, single year of age and sex according to the emigrants’ distribution.
Net interprovincial migration and net intraprovincial migration
For the subprovincial areas, the components (in- and out-migrants for interprovincial and intraprovincial migration) are extracted from tax files by broad age groups and sex. They are calculated using the T1FF provided by the Income Statistics Division of Statistics Canada as well as data from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Canada child benefit files (CCB) program. The data is then broken down by single year of age and sex based on the mobility information from the 2016 Census. To ensure their consistency, the components for interprovincial migration are subsequently controlled to the provincial and territorial totals.
For Quebec, intraprovincial migration data were provided by l’Institut de la Statistique du Québec.
