Postcensal estimates are based on the latest
census counts adjusted for census net undercoverage, incompletely enumerated
Indian reserves and for the estimated population growth that occurred since
that census. Intercensal estimates are based on postcensal estimates and census
counts adjusted for the censuses preceding and following the considered year.
Estimates are final intercensal up to 2005,
final postcensal for 2006 and 2007, updated postcensal for 2008 and 2009 and
preliminary postcensal for 2010.
The five following groups are referred to as
NPRs: (1) persons residing in Canada claiming refugee status; (2) persons
residing in Canada who hold a study permit; (3) persons residing in Canada
who hold a work permit; (4) persons residing in Canada who hold a Minister's
permit; (5) all non-Canadian born dependants of persons claiming refugee status,
or of persons holding study permits, work permits or Minister's permits and
living in Canada.
Note(s):
Data are presented from July 1 to June 30. Population
growth figures do not equal the sum of the natural increase and international
migration. It is necessary to add the residual deviation to these data.
