Statistics Canada has been making digital activities visible and more robust in international trade in services through two new initiatives, which focus on the concept of digital intensity. This paper will provide information on how digital intensity of services exporters as an indicator is evolving within the International trade in services program, and will highlight developments in measuring imports into Canada from non-resident digital intermediaries.

Canadian regional labour statistics and inter-regional movements of paid workers, 2001 to 2021

Release date: May 18, 2023

This paper focuses on the new regional labour statistics built based on the economic regions where people work. It reviews the methodology in creating these new experimental regional labour statistics. The data allow us to analyse regional labour markets as well as to track the flows of workers from one economic region to other regions.

This paper is the first that compares such statistics over an entire a decade (2010 with 2021) and investigates the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions affected employment and labour movements among regional economies.
