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.
