Notes:

Population in private household – Unless otherwise specified, all data in census products are for private households only.

Random rounding – To ensure the confidentiality of responses collected for the 2016 Census, a random rounding process is used to alter the values reported in individual cells. As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values, since the total and subtotals are independently rounded. Similarly, percentage distributions, which are calculated on rounded data, may not necessarily add up to 100%.

i Definitions of the words identified with a roman numeral are located in the glossary. Statics Canada maintains a Census Dictionary for the 2016 Census of Population, available online at http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/ref/dict/index-eng.cfm.

1. Total responses to ethnic origin do not sum up to the total population. Total ethnic origin responses are the sum of single and multiple responses for each ethnic origin. Total response counts indicate the number of persons who reported a specified ethnic origin, either as their only origin or in addition to one or more other ethnic origins.

2. Multiple responses, a multiple ethnic origin response occurs when a person provides two or more ethnic origins. 3. British Isles origins, n.i.e. includes general responses indicating British Isles origins (e.g., 'British,' 'United Kingdom') as well as more

specific responses indicating British Isles origins that have not been included elsewhere (e.g., 'Celtic'). 4. To ensure confidentiality, the value, including totals are randomly rounded either up or down to a multiple of 5 or 10. As a result, when these

data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the individual values since totals and sub-totals are independently rounded.

Note:

* Value is less than 20, so data is suppressed. Data suppression has been adopted to further protect the confidentiality of individual respondents’ personal information.

1. To ensure confidentiality, the value, including totals are randomly rounded either up or down to a multiple of 5 or 10. As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the individual values since totals and sub-totals are independently rounded.

2. The % distribution shows the percentage breakdown of the immigrant population (or recent immigrants) in Simcoe Count or municipalities by age category.

3. The % proportion shows the percentage of immigrants (or recent immigrants) in a given age category compared to the total population with the same age category.

Notes:


1. Total ethnic origin responses are the sum of single and multiple responses for each ethnic origin. Total response counts indicate the number of persons who reported a specified ethnic origin, either as their only origin or in addition to one or more other ethnic origins. The sum of all ethnic origin responses is greater than the total population estimate due to the reporting of multiple origins.


3. ‘Other North American origins’ includes general responses indicating North American origins (e.g., 'North American') as well as more specific responses indicating North American origins that have not been included elsewhere (e.g., 'Maritimer').

Glossary

i 'Immigrants' (or foreign-born population) refers to a person who is, or who has ever been, a landed immigrant or permanent resident in Canada. Such a person has been granted the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities. Immigrants who have obtained Canadian citizenship by naturalization are included in this group. In the 2016 Census of Population, 'Immigrants' includes immigrants who landed in Canada on or prior to May 10, 2016. In this report, the immigrants excludes non-permanent residents (i.e., person in Canada who have a work or study permit or who are refugee claimants). The immigrant population also excludes persons born outside Canada who are Canadian citizens by birth.

ii 'Recent immigrants' refers to an immigrant who first obtained his or her landed immigrant or permanent resident status in the five years prior to a given census. In the 2016 Census, the period is from January 1, 2011 to May 10, 2016.

iii 'Non-permanent residents' includes persons from another country who have a work or study permit or who are refugee claimants, and their family members sharing the same permit and living in Canada with them.

iv 'Admission category' refers to the name of the immigration program or group of programs under which an immigrant has been granted for the first time the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities. 'Applicant type' refers to whether an immigrant was identified as the principal applicant, the spouse or the dependant on the application for permanent residence. v 'Economic immigrants' includes immigrants who have been selected for their ability to contribute to Canada's economy through their ability to meet labour market needs, to own and manage or to build a business, to make a substantial investment, to create their own employment or to meet specific provincial or territorial labour market needs. vi 'Immigrants sponsored by family' includes immigrants who were sponsored by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and were granted permanent resident status on the basis of their relationship either as the spouse, partner, parent, grand-parent, child or other relative of this sponsor. The terms 'family class' or 'family reunification' are sometimes used to refer to this category. vii 'Refugees' includes immigrants who were granted permanent resident status on the basis of a well-founded fear of returning to their home country. This category includes persons who had a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership in particular social group or for political opinion (Geneva Convention refugees) as well as persons who had been seriously and personally affected by civil war or armed conflict, or have suffered a massive violation of human rights. Some refugees were in Canada when they applied for refugee protection for themselves and their family members (either with them in Canada or abroad). Others were abroad and were referred for resettlement to Canada by the United Nations Refugee Agency, another designated referral organization or private sponsors. viii 'Place of birth' refers to the name of the geographic location where the person was born. The geographic location is specified according to geographic boundaries current at the time of data collection, not the geographic boundaries at the time of birth. In the 2016 Census of Population, the


geographic location refers to a country if the person was born outside Canada. ix 'Citizenship' refers to the country where the person has citizenship. A person may have more than one citizenship. A person may be stateless, that is, they may have no citizenship. Citizenship can be by birth or naturalization. x 'Canadian citizens' includes persons who are citizens of Canada only and persons who are citizens of Canada and at least one other country. xi 'Not Canadian citizens' includes persons who are not citizens of Canada. They may be citizens of one or more other countries. Persons who are stateless are included in this category. xii ‘Visible minority’ refers to whether a person belongs to a visible minority group as defined by the Employment Equity Act and, if so, the visible minority group to which the person belongs. The Employment Equity Act defines visible minorities as "persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour." The visible minority population consists mainly of the following groups: South Asian, Chinese, Black, Filipino, Latin American, Arab, Southeast Asian, West Asian, Korean and Japanese. xiii 'Ethnic origin' refers to the ethnic or cultural origins of the person's ancestors. An ancestor is usually more distant than a grandparent. Total ethnic origin responses are the sum of single and multiple responses for each ethnic origin. Total response counts indicate the number of persons who reported a specified ethnic origin, either as their only origin or in addition to one or more other ethnic origins. Total responses to ethnic origin do not sum up to the total population.

Recent immigrants refers to an immigrant who first obtained his or her landed immigrant or permanent resident status in the five years prior toa given census. In the 2016 Census, the period is from January 1, 2011 to May 10, 2016.3. Christian Island 30 and Christian Island 30A data are combined.4. The '% of Total Population' shows the percentage of immigrants in a given geographical area by compared to the total population living in this same geographic area during specific period. To ensure confidentiality, the value, including totals are randomly rounded either up or down to a multiple of 5 or 10. As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the individual values since totals and sub-totals are independently rounded.

This increasing share is due to the large number of immigrants admitted into Canada each year, the gradual rise in the number of deaths and the relatively low fertility levels in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2017).In Canada, immigrants are selected based on three main objectives: to enhance and promote economic development; to reunite families; and to fulfill the country's international obligations and uphold its humanitarian tradition (Statistics Canada, 2017).
