Notes:
- All values between 0 and 5 are shown as “--”. This is done to prevent individuals from being identified when IRCC data is compiled and compared to other publicly available statistics. All other values are rounded to the closest multiple of 5 for the same reason; as a result of rounding, data may not sum to the totals indicated.
- Data are preliminary estimates and are subject to change.
- 'Inland port of entry' provides data on permanent residents who landed from within Canada. It gives the number of those who landed at an IRCC inland office. The data, however, excludes those who ‘flagpole’ in order to land. There are no accurate methods of reporting on flagpolers as they would be counted under the ‘border’ as port of entry. Currently, there are no means to differentiate these individuals from those who landed from other countries
- 'Other port of entry' includes airport, border, marine and unspecified as port of entry.
