Overview

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has supplied Statistics Canada with administrative data on all international travelers entering into Canada since the 1920s. As part of the Frontier Counts program, the CBSA has collected data concerning the count of entries into the country by international travelers at Canadian ports of entry, and provided it to Statistics Canada for processing and analysis. The data is used by a number of organizations in the public and private sectors, to produce data on commerce and tourism between Canada and other countries.

Data

The Dataset is divided after 14 csv files according to the geographical region that the traveler visited. There are files for all of Canada's 10 provinces, 3 territories and one the entire country. Each csv file has the same structure.

The n.o.s. acronym in the Country of residence column stands for 'not otherwise specified' and it includes persons reported from the same continent. For example, 'Africa, n.o.s.' includes the visitors from 'Africa', who did not report a more specific country or region. The acronym stopped being used after 1989.
