Mobility 1 - Country of residence 1 year ago

Part A - Short definition:

Not applicable

Part B - Detailed definition:

Refers to the person's usual country of residence on May 10, 2010, one year prior to the reference day, May 10, 2011. This concept applies to the Mobility status (1 year ago) subuniverse only.

Reported in:

2011

Reported for:

Population aged 1 year and over residing in Canada, in private households

Question number(s):

Direct variable: Question 23

Responses:

For the one-year ago mobility question, respondents were asked to write the name of the 'country' of residence one year ago. This write-in response has been subsequently converted to a three-digit code corresponding to the place of birth classification.

Remarks:

Respondents who indicated that they 'Lived outside Canada' (i.e., external migrants) were asked to indicate the name of their country of residence one year earlier according to that country's present boundaries. Country of residence 1 year ago is not applicable to internal migrants, non-migrants and non-movers.

There is no corresponding 'current country of residence' variable since persons residing in Canada one year ago, but not on the reference day, May 10, 2011, are not counted.
