Includes abortions obtained by Canadian residents in selected American states; the province or territory of residence is not reported.

Prince Edward Island has not reported to the Therapeutic Abortion Survey since 1982. As of 1983, abortions performed on residents of Prince Edward Island are only those reported by other provinces.

In 2004 and 2005, information on abortions performed in clinics in Manitoba was not submitted to the Therapeutic Abortion Survey. Therefore, the statistics for hospitals and clinics combined include only hospital abortions.

For 2002 and 2003, Nunavut residents are excluded due to incomplete reporting.

Non-residents of Canada who obtained an induced abortion in Canada.
