Additional information

Notes

  • This interactive visualization tool shows the geographic mobility of Canadian bachelor’s degree graduates who graduated between 2012 and 2021. It displays the number of graduates from the location of residence at the time of admission (Origin), their location of study and their location of residence one year after graduation (Destination).
  • Within the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform (ELMLP), data from the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) were used to determine the place of residence before and during studies and tax data from the T1 Family File (T1FF) were used to determine location of residence one year after graduation. See the technical reference guide for more detail on this methodology: Geographic mobility indicators of Canadian undergraduate degree holders.
  • International students and full-time students one year after graduation are excluded from the analysis.
  • The data and methods are subject to revision, all counts are randomly rounded, and totals may not add up to the sum of all categories due to rounding.
  • In some cases, the number of graduates whose place of residence is in certain provinces or territories is zero at either the origin or destination point; consequently, these provinces or territories do not appear as origin or destination nodes.

How to use

How to use this interactive visual

The middle node of the Sankey diagram shows the number of graduates for a given province of study. Simply hover over the rectangle designated by the province to see the number. The Sankey diagram also shows the number of students moving between each province (from origins to the province of study and from the province of study to the destinations one year after graduation). Hover over the flow element to see the numbers. The diagram is interactive. By default, the drop-down menus show reference year 2021 and the province of Ontario as the province of study. The user can select different years or provinces of study.
