Note to readers
The Longitudinal Immigration Database combines linked administrative immigration and tax data files. It provides detailed and reliable information on socioeconomic outcomes of immigrants after landing, such as employment income and mobility. It connects short- and long-term outcomes with characteristics at admission, such as immigrant admission category, source country and knowledge of official languages.The database also provides information on pre-admission experience in Canada.
The database combines an administrative Landing File with the T1 Family File through exact matching record linkage techniques. The overall linkage rate is approximately 97%. The population includes immigrants who landed from 1980 to 2015 and who filed taxes at least once from 1982 to 2015.
