Release date: 2022-09-21 - Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202200100010Description:
This study explores the 2020 COVID-19 mortality among racialized populations in Canada and its association with income.

The Canadian Social Environment Typology (CanSET) is a geographic classification tool to compare neighbourhoods across Canadian Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations. The purpose of this user guide is to define the concept of identical Dissemination Area (DA) clusters used in the Canadian Social Environment Typology (CanSET) and to give an overview of how the clusters can be used to explore DA level health and social inequalities. The user guide also offers information on how to use the new social environment clusters to understand social and health inequalities in more populous areas in Canada.
Release date: 2022-05-09 - Articles and reports: 18-001-X2020001Description:
This paper presents the methodology used to generate the first nationwide database of proximity measures and the results obtained with a first set of ten measures. The computational methods are presented as a generalizable model due to the fact that it is now possible to apply similar methods to a multitude of other services or amenities, in a variety of alternative specifications.
Release date: 2021-02-15 - 5. Deaths involving sepsis in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-624-X201600114308Description:
This article explores deaths in Canada that involved sepsis, a serious medical condition caused by an overwhelming immune response to an infection. Sepsis-associated mortality rates are presented over time and by sex, age and underlying cause of death. The article uses multiple-causes-of-death data from the Canadian Vital Statistics – Death Database. Data from the years 2000 to 2011 are used when discussing changes over time.
Release date: 2016-01-21 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201500214139Description:
Data were extracted from Statistics Canada’s Infant Birth-Death Linked File to measure stillbirth and infant mortality rates of Aboriginal people in Quebec and compares them with rates for non-Aboriginal people in the province.
Release date: 2015-02-18 - 7. Ecoregion profile: Fescue Grassland ArchivedProfile of a community or region: 16-002-X201100111420Description:
The Fescue Grassland ecoregion profile is the sixth in a series of ecoregion profiles. The information presented includes a brief description of the physical setting, a snapshot of land cover and use as well as statistics on selected socio-economic characteristics of the region.
Release date: 2011-03-23 - 8. Ecoregion profile: Manitoulin-Lake Simcoe ArchivedProfile of a community or region: 16-002-X201000411374Description:

Release date: 2010-12-08 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2008004Geography: CanadaDescription:
The analysis presented in this bulletin suggests that there are two main forces that shape community population trajectories: sector restructuring and agglomeration. The results presented in this bulletin are based on data from the 1981 and 2006 Census of Population.
Release date: 2010-03-08 - Articles and reports: 89-001-X20070019644Geography: CanadaDescription:
The North American experience with international migration stands in unique contrast to much of the rest of the world. This paper uses microdata drawn from the national censuses of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, and applies the same methodological framework to these data to examine the impact of international migration on the labour market. We find a numerically comparable and statistically significant inverse relation between immigrant-induced shifts in labour supply and wages in each of the three countries: A 10% labour supply shift is associated with about a 3% to 4% opposite-signed change in wages. Despite the similarity in the wage elasticity, the impact of international migration on the wage structure differs significantly across countries. In Canada, international migration substantially narrowed wage inequality because immigrants in Canada tend to be disproportionately high-skilled. In the United States, international migration substantially increased wage inequality because immigrants in the United States tend to be disproportionately low-skilled. In Mexico, however, emigration rates are highest in the middle of the skill distribution and lowest at the extremes. As a result, international migration greatly increased relative wages in the middle of the Mexican skill distribution and lowered relative wages at the extremes. Paradoxically, the large-scale migration of workers from Mexico may have slightly reduced the relative wage of the low-skill workers remaining in that country.

Release date: 2007-05-25 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2006273Geography: CanadaDescription:
Recent immigration appears to be characterized by frequent return and onward migration. This has important consequences for the contribution of immigrants to the economy of the host country. The return to host country settlement costs may be very low for some immigrants. Lack of longitudinal data has prevented much analysis of whether recent international migration is more like internal migration and not a once-for-all move with a possible return should the move prove to have been a mistake. A newly available longitudinal data set covering all immigrants to Canada since 1980 provides the opportunity to address the issues raised by the new migration. The results show that a large fraction of immigrants, especially among skilled workers and entrepreneurs, are highly internationally mobile.
