How to interpret these figures
Annual permit-holder flow, not a point-in-time total
These figures count Temporary Foreign Worker Program work-permit holders according to the year in which their permits became effective.
They do not represent the total number of people holding valid permits on December 31, the number of people currently present in Canada, positive Labour Market Impact Assessments, or jobs filled.
A person with a permit that remained valid across more than one year is not counted again in each later year unless another permit became effective.
