Data from the Longitudinal Immigration Database for the Atlantic provinces from 1980 to 2012 are now available. Tables at the Canada level were released in The Daily on January 12, 2015. See the note to readers for the release schedule of other provincial data.

  Note to readers

The Longitudinal Immigration Database provides information on immigrant economic outcomes, by immigrant characteristics at landing, such as the admission category, education level and knowledge of French or English.

The database combines an Administrative Landing File with the T1 Family File through exact matching record-linkage techniques. The overall linkage rate is approximately 87%. The population includes immigrants who landed between 1980 and 2012 and who filed taxes at least once between 1982 and 2012.
