Statistics Canada publishes monthly labour force statistics for all Canadian Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) and provinces. In addition, the City of Toronto purchases a special run from Statistics Canada of Labour Force Survey (LFS) data for city of Toronto residents (i.e. separate from the rest of the Toronto CMA). LFS data are collected by place of residence, and therefore city of Toronto's "employment" represents "employed residents" and not "jobs" in the city of Toronto. There are more jobs in the city of Toronto than employed city of Toronto residents. In this LFS database, you will find 22 monthly tables and 28 annual tables. Most of the tables contain data for five geographies: city of Toronto, Toronto CMA, Toronto/Hamilton/Oshawa CMAs, Ontario and Canada ( see attachment Table of Contents below a full description ). LFS data in the IVT tables are not seasonally adjusted. Top level seasonally adjusted LFS data are available in our monthly Toronto Economic Bulletin on Open Data. LFS is based on a monthly sample of approximately 2,800 households in the Toronto CMA, about half of the sample is from the city of Toronto; therefore, estimates will vary from the results of a complete census. LFS follows a rotating panel sample design, in which households remain in the sample for six consecutive months. The total sample consists of six representative sub-samples of panels, and each month a panel is replaced after completing its six month stay in the survey. Outgoing households are replaced by households in the same or similar area. This results in a five-sixths month-to-month sample overlap, which makes the design efficient for estimating month-to-month changes. The rotation after six months prevents undue respondent burden for households that are selected for the survey ( see attachment Guide to the Labour Force Survey for more information). Upon reviewing the data, you will see that at least some cells in the IVT tables have been suppressed. For confidentiality reasons, Statistics Canada suppresses Labour Force Survey data for any cell that corresponds to less than 1,500 persons. At the beginning of 2015, Statistics Canada substantially changed the methodology used to produce LFS population estimates for the city of Toronto. These changes have resulted in large and inexplicable swings in population and related counts, which are not real. However, the unemployment and participation rates for city residents showed very little change in this revision. The red dots in the chart above represents Statistics Canada's Annual Demographics estimates for the populations of the city of Toronto, age 15 and over. These are only estimates, but they are generally accepted as the most accurate estimates for the city's population. (Source: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/91-214-x/91-214-x2018000-eng.htm). The most recent Statistics Canada population estimate for the city of Toronto is for July 1, 2015; therefore, we have to use projections thereafter. There are several population projections for the city. The projection that EDC staff has chosen to use for rebasing city of Toronto LFS data is the Ontario Ministry of Finance Population Projections 2017-2041 and downloaded June, 2017 from http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/economy/demographics/projections/ Please see attachment Rebased Labour Force Survey for City of Toronto below for annual adjustment factors, monthly adjustment factors and an example of how to rebase the absolute numbers for the city of Toronto.

In 2022, the median age of the population of the city of Toronto, in the province of Ontario, Canada, was **** years, just over three years higher than in 2001. The median age of the population actually increased relatively steadily between 2001 and 2015, from **** to **** years, and then declined, after a plateau period, between 2017 and 2020. It increases again since 2020. The median age is the age that divides the population into two numerically equal groups: half are younger than this age and half are older.

The City Manager conducted a public consultation in May 2015 to seek input from Torontonians on the matter of expanded gaming at Woodbine Racetrack. This data set contains input from the public consultation delivered by Ipsos Reid for the City of Toronto between May 6 and May 29, 2015. The purpose of posting this dataset is to create a record of the consultation and the public's views from an online questionnaire, and a city-wide public opinion telephone survey. Telephone Survey A telephone survey was conducted among a representative sample of 701 adult Toronto residents between May 15-28, 2015. The margin of error for a sample of this size is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points (at the 95% confidence level). The data was statistically weighted to ensure the sample's regional, age and gender composition reflects that of the actual Toronto population according to 2011 census data. In addition to the representative sample of 701 interviews, 200 interviews were conducted with residents who live in North Etobicoke (M9W and M9V) in order to boost the sample size of residents who live in the area of the Woodbine Racetrack. The survey was conducted using live interviews (CATI) and was executed using random digit dialing (RDD) . The representative sample frame included both landline and cellphone households. The average interview length was 14.4 minutes. The overall response rate to the survey was 9.2%. The response rate was calculated using the formula developed by the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association (MRIA) in conjunction with the Government of Canada. Throughout the report totals may not add to 100% due to rounding or because the question is a multi-select question, where respondents were permitted to choose more than one response.

Ontario was the province with the most immigrants in 2024, with 197,657 immigrants. Nunavut, Canada’s northernmost territory, had 56 immigrants arrive in the same period. Immigration to Canada Over the past 20 years, the number of immigrants to Canada has held steady and is just about evenly split between men and women. Asian countries dominate the list of leading countries of birth for foreign-born residents of Canada, although the United Kingdom, the United States, and Italy all make the list as well. Unemployment among immigrants In 2023, the unemployment rate for immigrants in Canada was highest among those who had been in the country for five years or less. The unemployment rate decreased the longer someone had been in Canada, and unemployment was lowest among those who had been in the country for more than ten years, coming more into line with the average unemployment rate for the whole of Canada.
