A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000, of which 50,000 or more must live in its core. A CA must have a core of at least 10,000. To be included in the CMA or CA, other adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the core, as measured by commuting flows derived from previous census data on place of work.
