Immigrants and period of immigration by province

Immigrant share of the population, the share who are non-permanent residents (for example work, study or asylum permit holders), and how immigrants are spread by period of immigration up to May 2021: before 2001, 2001–2005, 2006–2010, 2011–2015 and 2016–2021 (the five periods add to 100% of immigrants). From the 2021 Census of Population. Counts are randomly rounded by Statistics Canada; percentages labelled derived are calculated by Quadranac from those counts.
