Description:

Immigrants tend to reside disproportionately in larger Canadian cities, which may challenge their absorptive capacity. This study uses the linked Longitudinal Immigration Database and T1 Family File to examine the initial location and onward migration decisions of immigrants who are economic principal applicants (EPAs) and who have landed since the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act was passed. The main objective of the study is to identify the factors associated with initially residing and remaining in Canada’s three largest gateway cities: Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver (referred to as MTV).

Description:

This Juristat article examines economic factors that differentiate those who come into contact with the justice system once, compared to those who have repeated contact. Linking justice data from the Saskatchewan re-contact analytical file and tax information from the T1 Family File, this article provides an economic and employment profile of adults who had contact with Saskatchewan police between April 2009 and March 2010. In addition, inequalities in certain measures of health and social well-being among those who had a contact with Saskatchewan police between 2009 and 2010 are also explored.

Description: Families of tax filers; Before-tax and after-tax low income status (based on census family low income measures, LIM) by family type and family composition (final T1 Family File; T1FF).

Description:

This study looks at changes introduced in 2018 to the methodology used for the census family low income measure, based on the T1 Family File (T1FF; tax filer data). By making these changes, the methodology becomes better aligned with other data sources at Statistics Canada, such as the Census of Population and the Canadian Income Survey. To account for changes in the methodology, new T1FF standard tables on the census family low income measure (after-tax income), going back to 2004 data, are introduced.

Description:

This study looks at the differences in after-tax low income measure (LIM) statistics from two data sources which both use administrative tax data as their principal inputs: the 2016 Census of Population and the T1 Family file (T1FF). It presents a summary of the two data sources and compares after-tax LIM statistics by focussing on unit of analysis, LIM thresholds and the percentage of population below the LIM. The study also explores what factors users may want to consider when choosing one data source over the other.

Description:

Using records linkage, this article compares the place of residence in the 2011 Census to that of the 2010 T1 Family File (T1FF). The main result is that although the overall level of consistency in the place of residence is relatively high, it decreases, sometimes substantially, for some segments of the population.

Description: A shortage of health care professionals, especially family doctors and nurses, has been a widespread concern from coast to coast to coast. Few studies have examined recent trends in the retention of health care professionals. In particular, questions remain about whether outmigration pressures exert influence and how retention varies across specialties and regions. This article aims to examine health graduates' retention in Canada and in their province of study during the first few years after completing Canadian postsecondary programs, relying on data from the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) and T1 Family File (T1FF).

Description: This technical reference guide is intended for users of the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform (ELMLP) who are interested in Statistics Canada's geographic mobility indicators of undergraduate degree holders. The data come from the integration of administrative data from the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) and the T1 Family File (T1FF), and this technical reference guide describes the methodology used to produce these indicators.

Description: The geographic mobility of postsecondary graduates—where they were before their studies, where they studied, and where they went to work after graduation—is of great interest to provinces and territories because education is under their jurisdiction and graduates are synonymous with skilled workers. This article takes advantage of new tables published by Statistics Canada on the geographic mobility of Canadian undergraduate degree (or bachelor's) graduates from 2012 to 2021. It sheds light on the following questions: Which provinces attract postsecondary students to their provinces? Are the provinces successful in retaining the bachelor's graduates they have trained and integrating them into their labour market? Which provinces have net gains in graduates? And most importantly, what are the trends over the years?
