Notes:

Note:

Random rounding
To ensure confidentiality, the values, including totals, are randomly rounded either up or down to a multiple of '5' or '10.' To understand these data, you must be aware that each individual value is rounded. 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. Similarly, percentages, which are calculated on rounded data, may not necessarily add up to 100%.

Footnotes:

Footnote 1

These figures include single non-official language responses and multiple language responses. A multiple language response is a combination of a non-official language response and a response indicating French and/or English.

Footnote 2

The total for regions of birth in this table is greater than the sum of the regions (Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania) as other places of birth such as “born at sea” are not included.

Footnote 3

In 2021 Census analytical and communications products, the term "visible minority" has been replaced by the terms "racialized population" or "racialized groups", reflecting the increased use of these terms in the public sphere.
