Notes: The methodology used to produce numbers for Canada and the provinces/territories may differ from that used in a particular province/territory; as a result, the numbers in this table may differ from those published by the provinces/territories. In addition, please note that during a period when an unexpected number of people go back to school, this rate can be very high – even above 100%.
