2005

Facts and Figures 2005: Immigration Overview – Permanent and Temporary Residents presents the annual intake of permanent residents by immigration category, and of temporary residents by primary status for the period 1980 to 2005. It also presents the size of the population of temporary residents in Canada as of December 1 for each year during the same period. The main body of the publication consists of a series of statistical tables and charts depicting selected characteristics for these groups and covering the period 1996 to 2005. A glossary of terms and concepts used in the publication is also included.

This year, the manner in which the details of the economic immigration category are reported has changed. In addition to the components reported individually in the 2004 Facts and Figures, the provincial/territorial nominees are now shown separately for principal applicants and accompanying spouses and dependants. The groupings for marital status were also reviewed: common-law partners are now reported together with married immigrants.
