This Alberta Official Statistic describes the proportion of immigrants that reside in each of the eight Alberta economic regions based on the 2011 National Household Survey. Canada is a multicultural society whose ethnocultural make-up has been shaped over time by immigrants and their descendants. Each new wave of immigration has added to the nation’s ethnic and cultural composition. Over time, patterns of immigration have shifted. Historically, most immigrants came from Europe. More recently, the largest group of newcomers to Canada has come from Asia (including the Middle East).

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.

Presents results of a gas migration test on the Dingman #1 seep area to delineate the seep area and establish LEL (lower explosive limit) percentages in the affected areas. The Turner Valley gas plant site, used for many decades for petroleum production and refining, was decommissioned after 1985 and was designated as a historic site in 1995.

Migration is an evolutionarily stable adaptation when movement costs are outweighed by fitness gains. Migration is defined as the predictable movement between seasonal ranges in response to differential resource availability. However, migrations to locate suitable mates, and calving or nursery grounds are also common across taxa. For ungulates, the growth of new vegetation (i.e., green-wave) has been identified as a key mechanism influencing migration between seasonal ranges. We investigated how the green-wave influenced migration in a wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) population in northern Alberta, Canada, while also considering risk of calf predation by wolves (Canis lupus). Each year, all collared females in the population migrated an average of 28-kilometers over 6-days to a region at the western edge of their annual range between late-May and early-June. By late-June they migrated back to their core range, averaging a 40-kilometer migration distance over 10-days. We found that t..., , , # Ronald Lake wood bison migration dataset (2013 - 2019)

Description of the data and file structure

Between 2013 and 2019, 58 females were fitted with Global Positioning System (GPS) collars by Alberta Environment and Protected Areas at a 1.5-hr fix-rate for various lengths of time (n = 38 Lotek Newmarket, Canada; 10 Vectronics Berlin, Germany; 10 Tellus Lindenberg, Sweden). We observed an annual spring migration by all females (i.e., complete migration; Avgar et al., 2014) in May or early-June to a distinct region near where the McIvor River exits the Birch Mountains (hereafter referred to as the “spring range†; Figure 1). We calculated instantaneous rate of green-up (IRG) as the first derivative of the positive slope of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI; MOD9Q1 product from MODIS terra satellite) curve for a given 250×250-m cell

A positive LMIA will be issued by Service Canada if an assessment indicates that hiring a temporary foreign worker (TFW) will have a positive or neutral impact on the Canadian labour market. A positive LMIA must be obtained by an employer before hiring a TFW for a specific occupation. This list excludes all personal names, such as employers of caregivers or business names that use or include personal names. For this reason, the list is not complete and does not reflect all employers who requested or received an LMIA. The data provided in this report tracks TFW positions on Labour Market Impact Assessments only, not TFWs that are issued a work permit or who enter Canada. The decision to issue a work permit rests with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC); therefore, not all positions approved result in a work permit or a TFW entering Canada. The data includes all positions on all positive LMIAs as issued, and therefore also includes any position that may have been subsequently cancelled by the employer. For information on the number of work permits issued, please consult Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Facts and Figures: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/statistics/menu-fact.asp. Note: From Q1 2018 to Q3 2023 data, LMIAs in support of Permanent Residence (PR) were excluded from published employer lists. As of the publication of Q4 2023 employer lists (published in April 2024) and going forward, all LMIAs in support of 'Permanent Residence (PR) Only' will be included in the employer lists. However, previous employer lists will not be updated. Should an employer wish to contact ESDC concerning the accuracy of this information, please contact NA-TFWP-PTET@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca.

Defining and identifying changes to seasonal ranges of migratory species is required for effective conservation. Historic sightings of migrating whooping cranes (Grus americana) have served as sole source of information to define a migration corridor in the Great Plains of North America (i.e., Canadian Prairies and United States Great Plains) for this endangered species.
