Canada’s appeal as an immigration destination has been increasing over the past two decades, with a total of 464,265 people immigrating to the country in 2024. This figure is an increase from 2000-2001, when approximately 252,527 immigrants came to Canada. Immigration to the Great White North Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, there were an estimated 199,297 immigrants to Ontario, making it the most popular immigration destination out of any province. While the number of immigrants has been increasing over the years, in 2024 over half of surveyed Canadians believed that there were too many immigrants in the country. However, in 2017, the Canadian government announced its aim to significantly increase the number of permanent residents to Canada in order to combat an aging workforce and the decline of working-age adults. Profiles of immigrants to Canada The gender of immigrants to Canada in 2023 was just about an even split, with 234,279 male immigrants and 234,538 female immigrants. In addition, most foreign-born individuals in Canada came from India, followed by China and the Philippines. The United States was the fifth most common origin country for foreign-born residents in Canada.

About The Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) Database contains information on the presence, status and some outcomes of refugee claimants who entered Canada and were subject to the Safe Third Country Agreement with the United States of America at the Canada-US border from 2017 to 2024. Although these data were largely publicly-available, they were neither centralised, cleaned nor easily accessible for analysis by researchers and publics alike. Based on work by a group of researchers at Haven: the Asylum Lab supported by University of Toronto's Scholars in Residence Program (2024), we present centralised and processed data for the first time. Summary Implemented in 2004, the STCA places restrictions on the ability of refugee claimants to seek political asylum in Canada based on how they enter the country. Specifically, it mandates that those who arrive in the United States of America prior to entering Canada must seek refugee status there. One exception to the original STCA was that those who entered "irregularly" (i.e., between ports of entry); essentially, by entering Canada in this way, they could continue to seek refugee status as per international law. In 2023, the Governments of Canada and the USA implemented an additional protocol to the STCA which prevented this mode of seeking asylum unless the person in question made an unauthorised crossing and stayed in Canada for at least two weeks. In sum, the STCA has had major impacts on both the flows of and means by which refugee claimants trying to get to Canada to apply for political asylum do so. Despite the importance of the STCA on refugee flows into Canada, as well as pending legal actions related to it (e.g., a Supreme Court challenge), there are few data sources attempting to measure its empirical effects. On this basis, we present The STCA Database to fill this gap. This data drop will be the first of a series related to the STCA as a whole. Data Structure We structured the into a series of tables sourced from their original webpages. For more information on the data's structure and methodology for its construction (including to how to reproduce it), see "README.md". Tables are organised into corresponding comma-separated value (CSV) files, which can be opened in a variety of software packages, including but not limited to spreadsheet editors. Data Sources These data were sourced from the following agencies in the Government of Canada. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) provided numbers on interceptions of asylum-seekers between ports of entry at th Canada-US border by geography and time. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) gave numbers cases of asylum seekers processed in their officers by mode of entry (i.e., on land, air, sea or inland), geography and time. Finally, The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) held numbers on outcomes of refugee claims made by those who made "irregular border crossings" by selected countries and time; we compared these outcomes to all refugee claims made with IRB, which were also provided with these data. Some data were sourced using earlier versions of tables provided by the organisations listed above. To access them, we used the Internet Archive's WayBack Machine. This was necessary because some data which were previously available were later removed.

Operational datasets on acquisition of Canadian citizenship, permanent and temporary residency status and visitor visas of foreign nationals.

Temporary residents who are in Canada on a study permit in the observed calendar year. Datasets include study permit holders by year in which permit(s) became effective or with a valid permit in a calendar year or on December 31st. Please note that in these datasets, the figures have been suppressed or rounded to prevent the identification of individuals when the datasets are compiled and compared with other publicly available statistics. Values between 0 and 5 are shown as “--“ and all other values are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5. This may result to the sum of the figures not equating to the totals indicated.

Overview: Each quarter, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) publishes Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) statistics on Open Government Data Portal, including quarterly and annual LMIA data related to, but not limited to, requested and approved TFW positions, employment location, employment occupations, sectors, TFWP stream and temporary foreign workers by country of origin. The TFWP does not collect data on the number of TFWs who are hired by an employer and have arrived in Canada. The decision to issue a work permit rests with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and not all positions on a positive LMIA result in a work permit. For these reasons, data provided in the LMIA statistics cannot be used to calculate the number of TFWs that have entered or will enter Canada. IRCC publishes annual statistics on the number of foreign workers who are issued a work permit: https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/360024f2-17e9-4558-bfc1-3616485d65b9. Please note that all quarterly tables have been updated to NOC 2021 (5 digit and training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) based). As such, Table 5, 8, 17, and 24 will no longer be updated but will remain as archived tables. Frequency of Publication: Quarterly LMIA statistics cover data for the four quarters of the previous calendar year and the quarter(s) of the current calendar year. Quarterly data is released within two to three months of the most recent quarter. The release dates for quarterly data are as follows: Q1 (January to March) will be published by early June of the current year; Q2 (April to June) will be published by early September of the current year; Q3 (July to September) will be published by early December of the current year; and Q4 (October to December) will be published by early March of the next year. Annual statistics cover eight consecutive years of LMIA data and are scheduled to be released in March of the next year. Published Data: As part of the quarterly release, the TFWP updates LMIA data for 28 tables broken down by: TFW positions: Tables 1 to 10, 12, 13, and 22 to 24; LMIA applications: Tables 14 to 18; Employers: Tables 11, and 19 to 21; and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP): Tables 25 to 28. In addition, the TFWP publishes 2 lists of employers who were issued a positive or negative LMIA: Employers who were issued a positive LMIA by Program Stream, NOC, and Business Location (https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/90fed587-1364-4f33-a9ee-208181dc0b97/resource/b369ae20-0c7e-4d10-93ca-07c86c91e6fe); and Employers who were issued a negative LMIA by Program Stream, NOC, and Business Location (https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/f82f66f2-a22b-4511-bccf-e1d74db39ae5/resource/94a0dbee-e9d9-4492-ab52-07f0f0fb255b). Things to Remember: 1. When data are presented on positive or negative LMIAs, the decision date is used to allocate which quarter the data falls into. However, when data are presented on when LMIAs are requested, it is based on the date when the LMIA is received by ESDC. 2. As of the publication of 2022Q1- 2023Q4 data (published in April 2024) and going forward, all LMIAs in support of 'Permanent Residence (PR) Only' are included in TFWP statistics, unless indicated otherwise. All quarterly data in this report includes PR Only LMIAs. Dual-intent LMIAs and corresponding positions are included under their respective TFWP stream (e.g., low-wage, high-wage, etc.) This may impact program reporting over time. 3. Attention should be given for data that are presented by ‘Unique Employers’ when it comes to manipulating the data within that specific table. One employer could be counted towards multiple groups if they have multiple positive LMIAs across categories such as program stream, province or territory, or economic region. For example, an employer could request TFWs for two different business locations, and this employer would be counted in the statistics of both economic regions. As such, the sum of the rows within these ‘Unique Employer’ tables will not add up to the aggregate total.

Resettled refugees who arrived in Canada as part of the Government of Canada's Refugee and Humanitarian Resettlement Program. Datasets include resettled refugees who have received settlement services. Please note that in these datasets, the figures have been suppressed or rounded to prevent the identification of individuals when the datasets are compiled and compared with other publicly available statistics. Values between 0 and 5 are shown as “--“ and all other values are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5. This may result to the sum of the figures not equating to the totals indicated.

Temporary residents in the humanitarian population who request refugee protection upon or after arrival in Canada. This data should not be used as an indication of the number of asylum claimants residing in a province or territory. The table pulls data on number of asylum claimants who have submit a valid claim by year and province of claim. The data set may include individuals who have claimed asylum and since obtained a referral to the IRB, individuals who have been determined to be protected persons by IRPA, as well as those who may have since become a permanent resident may still be included in the claimant count in the year in which their asylum claim was made. Please note that in these datasets, the figures have been suppressed or rounded to prevent the identification of individuals when the datasets are compiled and compared with other publicly available statistics. Values between 0 and 5 are shown as “--“ and all other values are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5. This may result to the sum of the figures not equating to the totals indicated.
