Interprovincial migration

The estimates are produced by Demography Division using:

  1. Canada child benefit (CCB) (formerly Canada child tax benefit (CCTB)) adjusted migration data for children;
  2. factors (jG) corresponding to the ratio of the migration rate of all children to the migration rate of children who are registered to the CCB program calculated using 2014/2015 tax file data;
  3. factors (jkF) used to calculate adult migration and corresponding to the ratio of the adult to child migration rates, calculated on a three-year basis using tax file data for 2012/2013, 2013/2014 and 2014/2015.

Note: We remind you that it is normal for the sum of the monthly in- and out- interprovincial migrants not to be equal to the number of quarterly or yearly interprovincial in- and out- migrants.
