Methodology
How this report was prepared
This report uses Temporary Foreign Worker Program work-permit-holder data published by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. Records are filtered by country of citizenship and the year in which permits became effective.
Annual totals, year-over-year changes, country rankings, summary statistics, and analytical highlights are calculated automatically from normalized monthly source records.
