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 valid permit holders on December 31, people currently present in Canada, positive Labour Market Impact Assessments, or jobs filled.
