Note(s): The term "large urban centre" refers to a census metropolitan area (CMA), which is an area with over 100,000 residents. "Recent immigrant" refers to a person who obtained landed immigrant or permanent resident status in the five years preceding a given census. For the 2021 Census of Population, this refers to the period from January 1, 2016, to May 11, 2021.
