Foreword
A key mandate of the Research and Evaluation Branch, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is the dissemination of
immigration data. With its annual publication, Facts and Figures: Immigration Overview–Permanent and Temporary Residents, CIC
provides a broad range of statistical information on admissions to Canada.
Facts and Figures 2011: Immigration Overview–Permanent and Temporary Residents presents the annual intake of permanent
residents by category of immigration and of temporary residents by yearly status from 1987 to 2011. The report also shows
the number of temporary residents present on December 1st of each year for the same period. The main body of the
publication consists of a series of statistical tables and charts covering the ten-year period from 2002 to 2011. The report is
divided into two main sections, one depicting selected characteristics for permanent residents, and the other for temporary
residents.
All statistical information provided in this publication is derived from CIC’s administrative data files where transactions
with the department are recorded. In this report, however, the key reporting unit is the individual rather than the number
of visas or permits issued.
The statistics for admission of permanent residents are provided for the three main categories of immigration—family
class, economic immigrants and refugees—as well as for other immigrants who do not qualify in any of these categories.
Statistics for temporary residents are provided for temporary foreign workers, foreign students, humanitarian (including
refugee claimants) and other temporary residents. Research and Evaluation Branch regroups the temporary residents on
the basis of their “yearly status” which reflects the main reason for residing in Canada during each calendar year.
For information on Citizenship and Immigration Canada, its priorities and activities, publications and reports, as well as
application guides and forms, visit the CIC Web site at www.cic.gc.ca
The numbers appearing in this report for the period prior to 2011 may differ from those reported in earlier publications.
These differences reflect adjustments to CIC’s administrative data files that normally occur over time.

Permanent residents
Permanent residents
Since 2002, Canada’s immigration program has been based on the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and its
regulations. The IRPA replaces the Immigration Act of 1976 and defines three basic categories of permanent residents, which
correspond to major program objectives: reuniting families, contributing to economic development and protecting
refugees. Accordingly, statistical information in this section is presented for the main categories of permanent residents and
refers to principal applicants and accompanying spouses and dependants (unless otherwise noted).
The family class is comprised of foreign nationals sponsored by close relatives or family members in Canada and includes
spouses and partners, dependent children, parents and grandparents.
Economic immigrants are people selected for their skills and ability to contribute to Canada’s economy, including skilled
workers, business immigrants, provincial and territorial nominees, and live-in caregivers. The skilled worker component
includes immigrants who are able to demonstrate their ability to enter the labour market and successfully establish in
Canada by meeting selection criteria that assess factors such as education, English or French language abilities, and work
experience. The business immigrant component includes those who invest their money in an approved venture, those who
intend to run their own business, or those who intend to be self-employed. The provincial and territorial nominees are
permanent residents designated by a province or territory that have entered into agreements with the Government of
Canada to select immigrants who will meet their local economic needs. While these nominees must meet federal health and
security admission criteria, they are not subject to the skilled worker selection grid for determining eligibility. Live-in
caregivers are temporary foreign workers who are granted permanent residence after their participation in the Live-in
Caregiver Program. Initially, live-in caregivers must be qualified to provide care for children, sick or elderly people, or
persons with a disability. Successful candidates are granted temporary resident status and a work permit and, after two
years, are eligible to apply for permanent resident status.
Refugees include government-assisted refugees, privately sponsored refugees, refugees landed in Canada, and dependants
of refugees landed in Canada who live abroad.
On an exceptional basis, the IRPA gives Citizenship and Immigration Canada the authority to grant permanent resident
status to individuals and families who would not otherwise qualify in any category—for example, in cases where there are
strong humanitarian and compassionate considerations, or for public policy reasons. These discretionary provisions
provide the flexibility to approve deserving cases not anticipated in the legislation.
In this section of the report, selected landing and socio-demographic characteristics are presented for all permanent
residents for the 2002 to 2011 calendar years. Statistical tables and charts provide gender-based information on immigrant
category, source areas, intended destination in Canada, age at landing, level of education, marital status, language ability,
occupational skill level and intention to work. Information pertaining to marital status, level of education, occupational skill
level, and intention to work is presented only for the permanent resident population 15 years of age or older. This age
group corresponds to the age requirements for the labour force population as defined in the Census of Population.
Supplementary tables for the permanent resident population include statistical information showing the number of years of
schooling for children less than 15 years old, the major source countries, the level of education for new workers, the
occupation and the skill level.
Due to privacy considerations, some cells in the following tables have been suppressed and replaced with the notation "--".
As a result, components may not sum to total indicated. In general, we have suppressed cells containing less than five cases
except in circumstances where, in our judgement, we are not releasing personal information on an identifiable individual.
Note: numbers appearing in the “not stated” and “other” categories reflect operational adjustments to CIC’s administrative
data files and are currently under review.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Temporary residents
Temporary residents
In addition to selecting permanent residents, Canada’s immigration program provides for the temporary entry of foreign
workers and business people, foreign students and visitors. These temporary residents contribute to Canada’s economic
development by filling gaps in the labour market, enhancing trade, and purchasing goods and services. Foreign nationals
wishing to come to Canada as temporary residents must satisfy the visa officer abroad that they meet all applicable
requirements under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), including that they will leave Canada voluntarily at the
end of their authorized stay.
Also, in accordance with IRPA, protection can be extended to individuals who seek asylum upon or after their arrival in
Canada. The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), an independent administrative tribunal, oversees a quasi-judicial
process that determines claims for refugee protection made in Canada. The IRB hears refugee protection claims referred by
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Persons whose claim for
protection has been accepted may subsequently apply for permanent residence for themselves and dependants or close
family members, whether in Canada or abroad. If the claim for protection is refused, the individual is informed of the
reasons and is required to leave the country. A person whose claim is refused and who must leave the country may apply to
the Federal Court for a judicial review. Refused claimants may also apply to CIC for a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment
(PRRA) before removal from Canada. This process ensures that the risk to the individual is assessed before that person is
removed from Canada, particularly in cases where there has been a change in situation in the country of origin, or new
evidence indicates that the person needs protection. In most cases, a person has the right to remain in Canada pending the
outcome of these processes.
In this publication, for the purpose of statistical reporting we have defined four mutually exclusive groups of temporary
residents: foreign workers, foreign students, individuals in the humanitarian population and other temporary residents.
Temporary residents are regrouped according to our determination of their “yearly status”—the main reason for which
they have been authorized to enter and stay temporarily in Canada during each year of observation. Foreign workers are
those other than Canadian citizens or permanent residents, who enter Canada solely or primarily for work and have
obtained a work permit from CIC to legally perform such activities. In this report, a temporary resident is reported as a
foreign worker if his or her main reason for staying in the country relates to employment whether or not this person is also
a holder of other permits (e.g., a study permit). Similarly, foreign students are in Canada primarily to study, although they
too may have other permits. Individuals in the humanitarian population are primarily refugee claimants, but this group also
includes other foreign nationals allowed to remain in Canada on humanitarian or compassionate grounds under “special
considerations." These other humanitarian cases include a small number of individuals who have never filed a refugee claim
but who were processed under special programs established to handle refugee-like cases. The fourth group—other
temporary residents—is comprised of individuals with a temporary resident permit or a visitor record who do not hold any
other type of document. This group is not profiled in this publication.
In this section, a gender-based summary of entry statistics and present on December 1st statistics is provided for 1987
through 2011. In addition, for each group, gender-based entry and present on December 1st statistics for the ten-year
period from 2002 to 2011 are provided by source country*, intended destination in Canada (provinces or territories and
urban area), skill level for foreign workers, level of study for foreign students and age for refugee claimants.
Due to privacy considerations, some cells in the following tables have been suppressed and replaced with the notation "--".
As a result, components may not sum to total indicated. In general, we have suppressed cells containing less than five cases
except in circumstances where, in our judgement, we are not releasing personal information on an identifiable individual.
Note: numbers appearing in the “not stated” and “other” categories reflect operational adjustments to CIC’s administrative
data files and are currently under review.
* Source country refers to country of last permanent residence for foreign workers, foreign students and the humanitarian
population. However, source country refers to country of alleged persecution for tables highlighting refugee claimants.

Glossary of terms and concepts
Glossary of terms and concepts
Age: Five age groups are shown: 0 to 14 years, 15 to 24 years, 25 to 44 years, 45 to 64 years, and 65 years or older.
st
Age refers to age at landing for permanent residents and age at entry or age on December 1 for temporary residents.
Business immigrants: Permanent residents in the economic immigrant category selected on the basis of their ability
to establish themselves economically in Canada through entrepreneurial activity, self-employment or direct investment.
Business immigrants include entrepreneurs, self-employed people and investors. The spouse or common-law partner
and the dependent children of the business immigrant are also included in this category.
Canadian Experience Class (CEC): This immigration category became effective in September 17, 2008. This is a
prescribed class of persons who may become permanent residents on the basis of their Canadian experience. They
must intend to reside in a province or territory other than Quebec and must have maintained temporary resident status
during their qualifying period of work experience as well as during any period of full-time study or training in Canada.
Category: Immigration categories are shown for the three main groups of permanent residents—family class,
economic immigrants, and refugees—as well as for “other” immigrants who do not qualify in any of these categories.
On an exceptional basis, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act gives Citizenship and Immigration Canada the
authority to grant permanent resident status to individuals who would not otherwise qualify in any category—for
example, in cases where there are strong humanitarian and compassionate considerations. In reference to labour
market characteristics, the economic immigrant category is further divided into two subgroups: principal applicants,
and spouse and dependants.
Common-law partner: The family class includes, among others, persons who are the sponsor’s common-law partner.
Common law partner means, in relation to a person, an individual who is cohabiting with the person in a conjugal
relationship, having so cohabited for a period of at least one year. The term refers to both opposite-sex and same-sex
couples. Fiancés are no longer designated as a component of the Family class under the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Act. In this publication, the term common-law partner is also used as a designation of marital status for all
immigrants regardless of their immigration category.
Conjugal partner: The family class includes, among others, persons who are the sponsor’s conjugal partner. A
conjugal partner is a person who has maintained a conjugal relationship with the sponsor for at least one year but has
been unable to live with the sponsor. The term refers to both opposite-sex and same-sex couples. This category is
intended for partners of sponsors who would ordinarily apply as common-law partners but cannot meet the definition,
that is, they were not able to live together continuously for at least one year.
Deferred removal orders: Permanent residents determined to be members of the Deferred Removal Orders Class
(DROC) who are included with other immigrants. This class was designed to grant relief to individuals who have not
been recognized as refugees in Canada, who have cooperated with the authorities, but who have not been removed
from Canada within three years of the time they became removable. This category was introduced in 1994 under the
Immigration Regulations, of the Immigration Act (1976) but is no longer designated under the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Act.
Dependent children: Under current legislation, children are dependent if they are unmarried and under the age of 22,
or if they have been full-time students since before the age of 22, attend a post-secondary educational institution and
have been substantially dependent on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 22 or, if married or a
common-law partner, since becoming a spouse or a common-law partner, or if 22 or older, they have been
substantially dependent on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 22 because of a physical or mental
condition. A dependent child is either a biological child or an adopted child.
Economic immigrants: Permanent residents selected for their skills and ability to contribute to Canada's economy.
The economic immigrant category includes skilled workers, business immigrants, provincial or territorial nominees,
live-in caregivers and Canadian Experience Class.
Entrepreneurs: Economic immigrants in the business immigrant category who are selected on the condition that they
have managed and controlled a percentage of equity of a qualifying business for at least two years in the period
beginning five years before they apply, and that they have a legally obtained net worth of at least CAN$300,000. They
must own and manage a qualifying business in Canada for at least one year in the three years following arrival in
Canada.
Family class: Permanent residents sponsored by a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident living in Canada who is
18 years of age or over. Family class immigrants include spouses and partners (i.e., spouse, common-law partner or
conjugal partner); parents and grandparents; and others (i.e., dependent children, children under the age of 18 whom
the sponsor intends to adopt in Canada, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and grandchildren who are orphans under
Facts and Figures 2011

Immigration overview
18 years of age, or any other relative if the sponsor has no relative as described above, either abroad or in Canada).
Fiancés are no longer designated as a component of the family class under the Immigration and Refugee Protection
Act.
Foreign Students: Temporary residents who are in Canada principally to study in the observed calendar year. Foreign
students have been issued a study permit (with or without other types of permits). Under the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Act, a study permit is not needed for any program of study that is six months or less. Foreign students
exclude temporary residents who have been issued a study permit but who entered Canada principally for reasons
other than study.
Foreign Workers: Temporary residents who are in Canada principally to work in the observed calendar year. Foreign
workers have been issued a document that allows them to work in Canada. Foreign workers exclude temporary
residents who have been issued a work permit but who entered Canada mainly for reasons other than work.
FTA: A free trade agreement (FTA) is a trade treaty between two or more countries. These agreements are meant to
reduce or completely remove tariffs to trade. One example of such an agreement is the Canada–Chile Free Trade
Agreement (CCFTA).
GATS: The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) is a treaty of the World Trade Organization (WTO) that
came into force January 1995. The treaty was created to extend the multilateral trading system to the service sector.
GATS professionals possess the necessary academic credentials and professional qualifications which have been
duly recognized by the professional association of Canada.
Government-assisted refugees: Permanent residents in the refugee category who are selected abroad for
resettlement to Canada as Convention refugees under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act or as members of
the Convention Refugees Abroad Class, and who receive resettlement assistance from the federal government.
Humanitarian and Compassionate Cases: Permanent residents included with other immigrants who are sponsored
humanitarian and compassionate cases outside the family class, humanitarian and compassionate cases without
sponsorship, and cases that take into account public policy. On an exceptional basis, the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Act gives Citizenship and Immigration Canada the authority to grant permanent resident status to
individuals and families who would not otherwise qualify in any category, in cases where there are strong humanitarian
and compassionate (H&C) considerations, or for public policy reasons. The purpose of these discretionary provisions
is to provide the flexibility to approve deserving cases not anticipated in the legislation.
Humanitarian population: Temporary residents who are primarily refugee claimants but also includes other foreign
nationals allowed to remain in Canada on humanitarian or compassionate grounds under “special considerations.”
Immigration Act (1976): Federal legislation respecting immigration to Canada. The Immigration Act of 1976 became
law in 1978 and remained in effect until 2002.
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA): Federal legislation respecting immigration to Canada and the
granting of refugee protection to people who are displaced, persecuted or in danger. IRPA received royal assent on
November 1, 2001 and came into effect on June 28, 2002.
Independent immigrants: The independent immigrant category is a pre-IRPA immigration category that includes
skilled workers selected for their labour market skills and business immigrants selected on the basis of their business
experience and other related skills.
Industrial codes: Economic immigrants in the business immigrant category who have declared their industry of
activity, in lieu of their intended occupation.
Investors: Economic immigrants in the business immigrant category who are required to make a substantial
investment in Canada that is allocated to participating provinces and territories for economic development and job
creation.
Language ability: Four categories of language ability in one of Canada’s official languages are shown for permanent
residents: English only, French only, both French and English, and neither language. These are self-declared
indicators of knowledge of an official language.
Level of education: Eight levels of education are shown for permanent residents who are 15 years of age or older,
based on the number of years of schooling or the certificate, diploma or degree obtained.
 0 to 9 years of schooling
 10 to 12 years of schooling
 13 or more years of schooling, with no additional certificate, diploma or degree
 Trade certificate: completion of vocational training at non-university educational institutions

Live-in caregivers: Persons granted permanent resident status as economic immigrants after their participation in the
Live-in Caregiver Program. This program brings temporary foreign workers to Canada as live-in employees to work
without supervision in private households to care for children, seniors or people with disabilities. Participants in this
program may apply for permanent resident status within three years of arrival in Canada, once they have completed
two years of employment as live-in caregivers. The Live-in Caregiver Program replaced the Foreign Domestic
Movement Program on April 27, 1992.
LMO: A Labour Market Opinion (LMO) is an assessment provided from HRSDC/Service Canada to an employer who
wants to hire a foreign worker. The assessment is based on the impact a worker would have on Canada’s labour
market or, in other words, how the offer of employment would affect Canadian jobs. In some cases, special exemption
applies. For example, some defined occupations do not require a LMO but need a CIC exemption approval.
Marital status: The marital status of an individual upon entering Canada (single, married, common-law, separated,
divorced, or widowed).
Mother tongue: The native (first) language of an individual upon entering Canada. In this publication, the top 25
languages reported as mother tongue appear in decreasing order based on the most recent year
NAFTA: The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is an agreement signed by the governments of Canada,
Mexico, and the United States, creating a trilateral trade bloc in North America. The agreement came into force on
January 1, 1994. It superseded the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement signed in 1988.
National occupational classification (NOC): The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the nationally
accepted categorization of occupations in Canada. It organizes over 40,000 job titles into 500 occupational group
descriptions. The NOC provides a standardized framework for organizing the world of work in a coherent system. It is
used to manage the collection and reporting of occupational statistics and to provide understandable labour market
information. www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2006/AboutNOC.aspx
New workers: Permanent residents who are intending to work in Canada but who are without a declared occupation.
Occupational skill level cannot be assessed.

requirements; short work demonstration or on-the-job training.
Other humanitarian cases: Temporary residents in the humanitarian population composed of foreign nationals other
than refugee claimants, who are allowed to remain in Canada on humanitarian or compassionate grounds under
“special circumstances”. These other humanitarian cases include a small number of individuals who have never filed a
refugee claim but who are processed under special programs established to handle refugee-like cases.
Other temporary residents: Persons with a temporary resident permit or a visitor record issued for the purpose of
entering Canada. These temporary residents do not hold a work permit, a study permit, a permit processed under
special programs established to handle refugee-like cases nor have they ever filed a refugee claim.

residence is granted to protect a failed refugee claimant from a threat in the country of nationality or origin where there
is a risk to life, or a risk of excessive sanctions or inhumane treatment.
Principal applicants: Permanent residents identified as the principal applicant on their application for a permanent
resident visa for themselves and, if applicable, for accompanying spouse and/or dependants when they apply to

territorial nominee class, allowing provinces and territories that have agreements with Citizenship and Immigration
Canada to nominate persons to go to that province. A nominee must meet federal admissibility requirements, such as
those related to health and security.
Refugee claimants: Temporary residents in the humanitarian population who request refugee protection upon or after
arrival in Canada. A refugee claimant receives Canada’s protection when he or she is found to be a Convention
refugee as defined by the United Nations 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967
protocol, or when found to be a person needing protection based on risk to life, risk of cruel and unusual treatment or
punishment, or danger of torture as defined in the Convention Against Torture. A refugee claimant whose claim is

in Canada and abroad.
Refugee dependants: Refugee dependants are permanent residents in the refugee category who are family members
of a refugee landed in Canada, and who were living abroad or in Canada at the time of application. Their applications
for permanent residence are considered concurrently with that of the principal applicant in Canada.
Refugees: Permanent residents in the refugee category include government-assisted refugees, privately sponsored
refugees, refugees landed in Canada and refugee dependants (i.e., dependants of refugees landed in Canada,
including spouses and partners living abroad or in Canada).

Source country: Refers to the principal country of last permanent residence for all permanent residents and
temporary residents, unless otherwise indicated. For refugee claimants, source country refers to the principal country
of alleged persecution. In this publication, the top ten source countries appear in decreasing order of entry (or
presence) from these countries in the most recent year.
Spouse and dependants: Permanent residents who are the spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent
children of the principal applicant and listed as such on the application.
Still Present: Temporary residents subject to a refugee claim or who are in possession of a valid document (i.e., a

compliance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (or with the Immigration Act of 1976 prior to 2002) for
which the validity continues from the previous year to any point in time during the year of observation (calendar year).
For a given year of observation, the sum of initial entries, re-entries and persons still present reflects the number of
temporary residents deemed "ever present" in Canada at any point in time during that calendar year. This total number
st
of persons differs from temporary residents present on December 1 shown in other tables of this report.
Study permit: A permit authorizing foreign nationals to enter and study in Canada on a temporary basis. The study
permit identifies the level of study and the length of time the individual may study in Canada. Students do not need a
study permit for courses shorter than six months.
122
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Glossary of terms and concepts
Temporary residents: Foreign nationals who are lawfully in Canada on a temporary basis under the authority of a
valid document (i.e., a work permit, study permit, temporary resident permit, or a visitor record) issued for the purpose
of entering Canada and individuals who seek asylum upon or after their arrival in Canada and remain in the country
pending the outcome of processes relative to their claim. Temporary residents include foreign workers, foreign
students, the humanitarian population and other temporary residents. The other category of temporary residents is not
profiled in this publication.
Temporary resident initial entries: Temporary residents who enter Canada for the first time in the observed calendar
year with a valid document (i.e., a work permit, study permit, refugee claim, temporary resident permit, or a visitor
record). The sum of initial entries and re-entries reflects the total entries of temporary residents to Canada in any given
year of observation.
Temporary resident permit holders: Persons included with other immigrants who have been granted permanent
residence after having lived continuously in Canada for three to five years under the authority of a temporary resident
permit.
st
Temporary resident present on December 1 : This statistic measures the number of temporary residents with a
valid document (i.e., a refugee claim, a work permit, study permit, temporary resident permit, or a visitor record) on
st
December 1 of the observation year. This measure excludes temporary residents granted permanent resident status
on or before the observation date and those whose document validity has expired or is not yet in effect. The
st
Temporary residents present December 1 is the measure normally used to report the size of the temporary resident
population in Canada.
Temporary resident re-entries: Temporary residents returning to Canada in the observed calendar year with a new
document (i.e., a work permit, study permit, temporary resident permit, or a visitor record) issued abroad or at a port of
entry. The sum of initial entries and re-entries reflects the total entries of temporary residents to Canada in any given
year of observation.
Temporary resident total entries: The sum of initial entries and re-entries of temporary residents.
Transitions: Changes from one temporary resident status to another (e.g., from foreign student to temporary foreign
worker) or from a temporary resident status to permanent residence. Transitions from one temporary resident status to
another refer to the number of temporary residents whose yearly status has changed from the previous year or from an
earlier year if the individual is returning to Canada. Transitions from a temporary resident status to a permanent
residence refer to the number of temporary residents who have acquired permanent residency during the year or from
a previous year if the individual is returning to Canada. A transition is reported in the calendar year in which the event
happened.
Urban area: Refers to selected urban areas in Canada that are the intended destination for permanent and temporary
residents. A census metropolitan area (CMA) or a census agglomeration (CA) is formed by one or more adjacent
neighbouring municipalities centred on a large urban area (known as the urban core). A CMA must have a total
population of at least 100,000 of which 50,000 or more must live in the urban core. A CA must have an urban core
population of at least 10,000. To be included in the CMA or CA, other adjacent municipalities must have a high degree
of integration with the central urban area, as measured by commuting flows derived from census place of work data.

Work permit: Authorization that allows a non-Canadian citizen or a non-permanent resident to work in Canada. Some
temporary jobs in Canada may not require a work permit—for example: news reporters, public speakers, performing
artists, foreign government officers.
Yearly status: For statistical purposes, temporary residents are grouped as foreign workers, foreign students, the
humanitarian population, or other temporary residents according to the main reason they have been authorized to
enter and stay temporarily in Canada for each year of observation. These four categories are mutually exclusive—any
person included in one category is excluded from the others.
Yearly sub-status: The temporary resident are classified into three sub-status levels; with each level being connected
to the main yearly status grouping. Each sub-status describes with precision the main reason for the temporary
resident to enter and stay in Canada for each year of observation. All sub-status categories are mutually exclusive—
any person included in one category is excluded from the others.
Years of schooling: Number of years of schooling for permanent residents.
