Description:

The Income Statistics Division offers custom tabulations designed to meet specific data requirements. From the income tax forms submitted each year by Canadians, a wealth of economic and demographic information is available, subject to confidentiality restrictions. The statistics are derived primarily from the annual tax file provided by the Canada Revenue Agency.

Data are available starting in 1982 for some postal areas, some census regions, and for user-defined areas according to a postal code conversion file. Most current data are for the 2019 tax year.

Annual information is available on Canadian senior families and individuals. In these tables, a senior is defined as a person who is 55 years of age or older, and senior families are those in which the eldest spouse or parent is a senior. Data may be requested for the demographic profiles of senior family types by age group or for individuals in senior families, by age and gender. Also available are income profiles of senior couple families, senior lone-parent families, senior persons not in Census Families and senior individuals. The statistics are derived primarily from the annual tax file provided by the Canada Revenue Agency.

Data for some geographic areas are available starting from 1990. The latest data (2019) can be requested for Canada, provinces and territories, federal electoral districts, economic regions, census divisions, census metropolitan areas, census agglomerations, census tracts and certain postal geographies.

This study uses a new longitudinal dataset that combines information from the Postsecondary Information System (PSIS) with personal income tax data to examine the labour market outcomes of graduates from universities in the Maritime provinces (Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick). In this pilot study, the outcomes of six cohorts of young people who graduated from a university in the Maritime provinces between 2006 and 2011 are examined, including 37,425 undergraduate degree holders (those with a bachelor’s degree) and 6,740 graduate degree holders (those with a master’s degree or a doctorate).

Description:

The Economic Dependency Profile shows the number of men and women receiving different government transfers and the total amount of each payment type.

A region's dependency on transfer payments is demonstrated through the Economic Dependency Ratio (EDR). The EDR is the ratio of transfer payment dollars for every hundred dollars of employment income. The EDR is provided for the area requested and is also shown as a percentage of the ratio for the province or territory and for Canada. The statistics are derived primarily from the annual tax file provided by the Canada Revenue Agency.

Data for some geographic areas are available as far back as 1986. The latest data (2014) can be requested for Canada, provinces and territories, federal electoral districts, economic regions, census divisions, census metropolitan areas, census agglomerations, census tracts and certain postal geographies.

Description:

The Labour Income Profile shows the number of men and women with labour income and the total amount of each income type, including wages, salaries and commissions, self-employment income and Employment Insurance (EI) benefits.

Description: This table contains data for years 2000 - 2006 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years), and is no longer being released. This table contains data described by the following dimensions: Geography; Census Family types and persons in family types; Language of correspondence selected on income tax form.

Description:

This report compares the aggregate income estimates as published by four different statistical programs. The System of National Accounts provides a portrait of economic activity at the macro economic level. The three other programs considered generate data from a micro-economic perspective: two are survey based (Census of Population and Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics) and the third derives all its results from administrative data (Annual Estimates for Census Families and Individuals). A review of the conceptual differences across the sources is followed by a discussion of coverage issues and processing discrepancies that might influence estimates. Aggregate income estimates with adjustments where possible to account for known conceptual differences are compared. Even allowing for statistical variability, some reconciliation issues remain. These are sometimes are explained by the use of different methodologies or data gathering instruments but they sometimes also remain unexplained.

Description:

No agreed-upon definition exists of what constitutes high income, either in dollar cut-offs or as a percentage of the population. Researchers have used widely varying methods, producing widely varying outcomes. This paper presents various criteria for defining high income and looks at some of the characteristics and behaviours of high-income taxfilers under these definitions. Income taxes paid and effective tax rates are also examined.

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 data visualization 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 displays data on where students came from, where they studied and where they worked 1 year after graduation.

Description: Number of Canadian postsecondary graduates with an undergraduate degree by origin (location of residence prior to studies, based on information from the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS), location of study (based on the address of the postsecondary institutions in the PSIS) and destination (based on information from the T1 Family File (T1FF)) one year after graduation.

Description: This infographic provides an overview of characteristics of recent Canadian emigrants, using 2021 Census data and tax data. It presents results disaggregated by various characteristics, including age, immigrant status, level of education, occupation, and more.

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?
