Canadian Immigration Statistics, 1966 to 2011

We have added a number of statistical documents to our site.

Two publications – one simply titled “Immigration Statistics” and the other “Facts and Figures” were issued annually between 1966 and 2011. They offer insight into the changing demographic of immigrants to Canada, particularly following the adoption of the points system or significant world events that acted as “push factors”.

Information about immigrants that came to Canada in a particular year includes countries of origin, occupation, age, gender, and destination in Canada.
