About the Dataset

The primary objective of updating this dataset is to incorporate the latest immigration data from the CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) office. This enables an analysis of trends and patterns among immigrants from around the world to Canada.

Content This dataset includes records of immigrants from over 200 countries who immigrated to Canada between 1980 and 2024.

Notes The most current data available from Canada is up to July 2024. However, for practical purposes, I have estimated the full-year immigration data for 2024. Please exercise caution when interpreting the 2024 figures.
