Table summary
This table displays the results of Police-reported incidents of human trafficking. The information is grouped by Census metropolitan area (appearing as row headers), Criminal Code, Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Total human trafficking, calculated using number of incidents and average annual rate units of measure (appearing as column headers).
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, adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the central urban area, as measured by commuting flows derived from census data. A CMA typically comprises more than one police service. CMA populations have been adjusted to follow policing boundaries. The Oshawa CMA is excluded from this table due to the incongruity between the police service jurisdictional boundaries and the CMA boundaries. Data for the CMA of Saint John are excluded due to data quality concerns associated with the Saint John Police Service.
Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. Populations have been adjusted to follow policing boundaries. Populations based on July 1 estimates from Statistics Canada, Centre for Demography.
