The projected population of the Indigenous population by projection scenario.

Indigenous population - by region (data starting in January 88)

Number of persons in the labour force (employment and unemployment) and not in the labour force, unemployment rate, participation rate and employment rate by province, Atlantic region, Indigenous and Non-Indigenous population, sex, and age group, last 5 years.

Indigenous identity by gender and age for the population in private households which includes counts, percentage distribution and percentage change from the 2011 National Household Survey, and the 2016 and 2021 censuses.

Employment by Indigenous and Non-Indigenous population, National Occupational Classification (NOC), Eastern and central provinces and Western provinces (the Prairie region of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and British Columbia), and age group, last 5 years.

Estimated and projected population counts of the Indigenous population in the province by year, indigenous identity, age, gender for sub-provincial areas of B.C. according to the boundaries defined by the Ministry of Health. Estimates are based on the Census and adjusted for net undercoverage and incomplete unenumerated Indian reserves. Population counts by Indigenous identity from 2011 to 2021 are estimates, from 2022 to 2046 are projections. The geographies included in this data set are Health Authorities (HA) and Health Service Delivery Areas (HSDA) as defined by the Ministry of Health of B.C.

The statistics department of the Ministry of the Interior provides the latest statistical data for each county and city on the government's data open platform in xml format. When viewed in a browser, it appears as a series of characters and numbers, which can be processed by programmers rather than being garbled code. If you prefer to download the data in csv format (viewable in Excel), you can visit the social and economic data service platform of the Social and Economic Database Group webpage (segis.moi.gov.tw) of the National Spatial Information System for download.

Canada's most populous province, Ontario, had 188 315 Aboriginal people in 2001, the highest absolute number. However, they accounted for less than 2% of its total population. Second was British Columbia with 170 025, or 4.4% of its population. As in previous censuses, the highest concentrations of Aboriginal population in 2001 were in the North and on the Prairies.

Overview of educational characteristics of Indigenous populations in Canada, provinces, territories and cities, with percent distribution of highest certificate, diploma or degree.

There were over one million registered Indians in Canada as of December 2020. The region with the largest Indian population was Ontario, with 222 thousand, followed by Manitoba, which counted 164 thousand Indians. The regions with the smallest Indian populations were Yukon, and Northwest Territories.

The provide detailed statistical tables for 18 scenarios by single year of the projection period (2001 to 2017). For each of the scenarios, data are available for persons who identify with each of the following three groups: the North American Indian population, the Métis or the Inuit. All three groups were projected separately for each of the ten provinces and three territories. However, the subprovincial and subterritorial level shown for the three groups varies as it depends on the groups' size. For the North American Indians, future numbers were calculated for the urban parts of all census metropolitan areas (CMAs), urban areas outside CMAs, rural areas and reserves. For the Métis, places of residence were grouped into urban parts of CMAs, urban areas outside CMAs and rural areas, which also include reserves. Because of their relatively small size, the Inuit population was projected separately for urban and rural locations only. This information is further broken down by age and sex. The 18 scenarios, as well as scenario-specific assumptions on the future trend in fertility and internal migration, are presented in the table below. In addition to these two components of population growth, all scenarios assumed declining mortality and negligible importance of international migration to the change of the size of three Aboriginal groups. The statistical tables of this CD-ROM are organized into three sections: Aboriginal groups - The projected population by Aboriginal group, type of residence, province/territory and sex for the 18 scenarios by single year from 2001 to 2017; Age and sex - The projected population by Aboriginal group, type of residence, age group and sex for the 18 scenarios by single year from 2001 to 2017; and Province/territory - The projected total Aboriginal population by province/territory, age group, sex and type of residence for the 18 scenarios for 2001 and 2017. The statistical tables are supplementary to the publication Projections of the Aboriginal populations, Canada, provinces and territories: 2001 to 2017 (catalogue no. 91-547).
