- 6. Exploring the use of Canada Border Services Agency's Entry and Exit Data for Demographics EstimatesArticles and reports: 91F0015M2026002Description: Statistics Canada acquired Entry and Exit data from the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA). This data could enable many development projects related to demographic estimates. This report discusses the potential of this new source of data to refine the measurement of some of the demographic estimates program’s components.Release date: 2026-04-29
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600400003Description: In recent years, the entry earnings of newly admitted immigrants to Canada have exhibited substantial year-to-year fluctuations. Notably, first-year earnings increased by 21% for the 2020 admission cohort relative to the previous cohort and by 11% for the 2021 cohort, followed by a 13% decline for the 2022 cohort—despite a continued modest rise in the median wage among all Canadian workers. This article examines the extent to which these fluctuations reflect changes in immigrant selection and broader labour market conditions. Using data from the Longitudinal Immigration Database, the analysis focuses on admission cohorts from 2015 to 2022 and measures earnings (annual wages or salaries) in immigrants’ first full calendar year after admission.Release date: 2026-04-22
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600400004Description: The experience of loneliness is not evenly distributed in the population but disproportionately affects certain social groups. For example, persons with disabilities have a greater risk of loneliness than persons without disabilities and immigrants have a greater risk of loneliness than Canadian-born persons. This study examines how differences in the experience of loneliness between immigrants and Canadian-born persons with disabilities emerge in the context of socioeconomic participation (employment and school attendance) and socioeconomic deprivation (food insecurity, core housing need, low-income status), using data from the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability.Release date: 2026-04-22
- Articles and reports: 75-006-X202600100004Description: This study uses data from the 2024 Survey on Health Care Access and Experiences – Primary and Specialist Care to analyze the prevalence of having a regular health care provider among immigrants and non-immigrants. Specifically, the study examines differences in access between recent immigrants, established immigrants and non-immigrants, and how these patterns vary by demographic and socioeconomic factors.Release date: 2026-04-22
- Articles and reports: 75-006-X202600100005Description: The article examines the prevalence of having a regular health care provider (RHCP) among the seven largest racialized groups in Canada. Specifically, using data from the 2024 Canadian Community Health Survey, the article shows how the proportion of people who have an RHCP differs between and within the racialized populations and the non-racialized and non-Indigenous population and varies across racialized groups based on demographic characteristics, such as gender, age, immigrant status, immigration period and provincial region.Release date: 2026-04-22

- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-633-X2026002Description: Recent changes in Canada’s immigration levels have heightened interest in understanding how immigration affects housing demand. This article develops a methodological framework for projecting housing use associated with permanent residents (PRs) and non-permanent residents (NPRs) under alternative immigration scenarios. The framework applies observed per capita housing use rates from the Census of Population to estimate incremental housing use by tenure over time.Release date: 2026-04-24
