Handout 2: Information sources and instructions

1. Immigration levels in provinces and territories

• 2006 Census: Immigration, citizenship, language, mobility and migration:
  http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/071204/dq071204a-eng.htm
• Immigrants as a percentage of each province's total populations, animated map:
  http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/english/census06/analysis/immcit/vignettes/NatHistImmig_ec.html
• Distribution of total population, total immigrant population and recent immigrants, Canada, provinces and territories, 2006 Census:
  http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/english/census06/analysis/immcit/tables/table2.htm

Translate these data into visual form:

• Identify the province that has the highest proportion of total immigrants (for example, Ontario has 54.9% of the total immigrant population).
• Multiply this percentage by 0.5 to determine the length of each side of the square that will represent this province (for example, 54.9 x 0.5 = 27.5 cm).
• Calculate the length of the sides of the squares that represent the remaining provinces and territories in the same manner (for example, British Columbia has 18.1% of the total immigrant population, 18.1 x 0.5 = 9.0 cm).

2. Immigration levels in Canadian metropolitan areas

• Immigration in Canada: A Portrait of the Foreign-born Population, 2006 Census: Immigrants in metropolitan areas:
  http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/english/census06/analysis/immcit/city_life.cfm
• Distribution of total population, total immigrant population and recent immigrants, Canada and census metropolitan areas, 2006 and 2001 censuses:
  http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/english/census06/analysis/immcit/tables/table3.htm

Translate these data into visual form:

• Identify the metropolitan area that has the highest proportion of immigrants (for example, Toronto has 37.5% of the total immigrant population).
• Multiply this number by 0.5 to determine the radius of a circle representing this metropolitan area (e.g., 37.5 x 0.5 = 18.8 cm).
• Draw circles to represent immigration to other key metropolitan areas.
