Return to note 1 referrer Note 2 Includes persons aged 18 years and older only. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3 A census metropolitan area (CMA) consists of one or more neighbouring municipalities situated around a major urban core. A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000, of which 50,000 or more live in the urban core. To be included in the CMA, other adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the core as measured by the flow of daily migration calculated from census data. Return to note 3 referrer Note 4 A census agglomeration (CA) consists of one or more neighbouring municipalities situated around a central core. A CA must have a core population of at least 10,000. To be included in a CA, other adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the core as measured by the percentage of commuters established from previous census place of work data. Return to note 4 referrer Note: Rates are calculated per 1,000 population aged 15 years and older. Because of the inclusion of the answers "Don’t know" and "Refusal" and of rounding, counts may not add up to totals. Immigrant refers to a person who is or has ever been a landed immigrant/permanent resident. This person has been granted the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities. Some immigrants have resided in Canada for a number of years, while others have arrived recently. Some immigrants are Canadian citizens, while others are not. The immigrant population excludes non-permanent residents, who are persons in Canada on a work or study permit, or who are refugee claimants. Source: Statistics Canada, General Social Survey.
