5 Foreword A key mandate of the Research and Evaluation Branch, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), is the dissemination of immigration data. With its annual publication, Facts and Figures: Immigration Overview Permanent and Temporary Residents, CIC provides a broad range of statistical information on admissions to Canada. Facts and Figures 2009: Immigration Overview Permanent and Temporary Residents presents the annual intake of permanent residents by category of immigration and of temporary residents by yearly status from 1985 to It also shows the number of temporary residents present on December 1 st of each year for the same period. The main body of the publication consists of a series of statistical tables and charts covering the ten-year period from 2000 to The report is divided into two main sections, one depicting selected characteristics for permanent residents, and the other for temporary residents. All statistical information provided in this publication is derived from CIC s administrative data files where transactions with the department are recorded. In this report, however, the focus is on the individual as the key reporting unit rather than on the number of visas or permits issued. The statistics for admission of permanent residents are provided for the three main categories of immigration family class, economic immigrants and refugees as well as for other immigrants who do not qualify in any of these categories. Statistics for temporary residents are provided for temporary foreign workers, foreign students, humanitarian (including refugee claimants) and other temporary residents. Research and Evaluation Branch regroups the temporary residents on the basis of their yearly status which reflects the main reason for residing in Canada during each calendar year. For information on Citizenship and Immigration Canada, its priorities and activities, publications and reports, as well as application guides and forms, visit the CIC Web site at The numbers appearing in this report for the period prior to 2009 may differ from those reported in earlier publications. These differences reflect adjustments to CIC s administrative data files that normally occur over time. iii

7 Permanent residents Permanent residents Since 2002, Canada s immigration program has been based on the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and its regulations. The IRPA replaces the Immigration Act of 1976 and defines three basic categories of permanent residents, which correspond to major program objectives: reuniting families, contributing to economic development and protecting refugees. Accordingly, statistical information in this section is presented for the main categories of permanent residents and refers to principal applicants and accompanying spouses and dependants (unless otherwise noted). The family class is comprised of foreign nationals sponsored by close relatives or family members in Canada and includes spouses and partners, dependent children, parents and grandparents. Economic immigrants are people selected for their skills and ability to contribute to Canada s economy, including skilled workers, business immigrants, provincial and territorial nominees and live-in caregivers. The skilled worker component includes immigrants who are able to demonstrate their ability to enter the labour market and successfully establish in Canada by meeting selection criteria that assess factors such as education, English or French language abilities and work experience. The business immigrant component includes those who invest their money in an approved venture, those who intend to run their own business, or those who intend to be self-employed. The provincial and territorial nominees are permanent residents designated by provinces and territories that have entered into agreements with the Government of Canada to select immigrants who will meet their local economic needs. While these nominees must meet federal health and security admission criteria, they are not subject to the skilled worker selection grid for determining eligibility. Live-in caregivers are temporary foreign workers who are granted permanent residence after their participation in the Live-in Caregiver Program. Initially, live-in caregivers must be qualified to provide care for children, sick or elderly people, or persons with a disability. Successful candidates are granted temporary resident status and a work permit and, after two years, are eligible to apply for permanent resident status. Refugees include government-assisted refugees, privately sponsored refugees, refugees landed in Canada and dependants of refugees landed in Canada who live abroad. On an exceptional basis, the IRPA gives Citizenship and Immigration Canada the authority to grant permanent resident status to individuals and families who would not otherwise qualify in any category for example, in cases where there are strong humanitarian and compassionate considerations, or for public policy reasons. These discretionary provisions provide the flexibility to approve deserving cases not anticipated in the legislation. In this section of the report, selected landing and socio-demographic characteristics are presented for all permanent residents for the 2000 to 2009 calendar years. Statistical tables and charts provide gender-based information on immigrant category, source areas, intended destination in Canada, age at landing, level of education, marital status, language ability, occupational skill level and intention to work. Information pertaining to marital status, level of education, occupational skill level and intention to work is presented only for the permanent resident population 15 years of age or older. This age group corresponds to the age requirements for the labour force population as defined in the Census of Population. Supplementary tables for the permanent resident population include statistical information showing the number of years of schooling for children less than 15 years old, the major source countries, the level of education for new workers, the occupation and the skill level. Due to privacy considerations, some cells in the following tables have been suppressed and replaced with the notation "--". As a result, components may not sum to total indicated. In general, we have suppressed cells containing less than five cases except in circumstances where, in our judgement, we are not releasing personal information on an identifiable individual.
