For the purpose of calculating rates,
the denominator is the average population (namely, the average of the start-of-period
and end-of-period populations) during the period.
Natural increase is the difference between the number
of births and deaths.
Net international migration basically refers to the number of moves between
Canada and abroad resulting in a change in the usual place of residence; it
comprises the following components: immigration, emigration, return emigration,
net temporary emigration and net non-permanent residents.
In this context, emigration is the difference
between emigration and return emigration, plus net temporary emigration.
For the rest of this analysis, a rate
higher than -0.1% and lower than 0.1% will be considered not significant
and relatively stable.
