New Data: Canada subnational - Interprovincial migration
Monday, 13 Aug 2018 10:22 ET
By Keith Golden
Summary
August 2018 -- Data Buffet now carries quarterly estimates of interprovincial migration (arrivals and departures) for Canada (30 new quarterly series from 1961).
Detail

Figures are unitary count of persons (#), not seasonally adjusted (NSA). Geo coverage is the nation and all 14 provinces and territories (active and defunct). The series start as early as 1961Q3. 

The series reside in the historical catalog (Canada » Demographics » Components of change) and include for example: 

  • VSQMIGDPEAUQ.ICAN    = Interprovincial migration - In-migrants, (#, NSA)
  • VSQMIGDPEDUQ.ICAN_ON = Interprovincial migration - Out-migrants, (#, NSA) - for Ontario, from 1961Q3
  • VSQMIGDPEDUQ.ICAN_NU = Interprovincial migration - Out-migrants, (#, NSA) - for Nunavut, from 1991Q3

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic. 

Please be aware that

Data Buffet also carries annual counts of inter- and intraprovincial migration at the CMA geo level.

Two of the series being added (VSQMIGDPEAUQ.ICAN_NN, VSQMIGDPEDUQ.ICAN_NN) are defunct. They pertain to the area "Northwest Territories including Nunavut" which has been superseded by the areas "Northwest Territories" (.ICAN_NT) and "Nunavut" (.ICAN_NU).
