Notes:
Between the second release (marital status, etc) and the third release (language, etc) the number of geographic areas included in the file increased from 893 to 983.
An urban area has a minimum population concentration of 1,000 persons and a population density of at least 400 persons per square kilometre, based on the current census population count. All territory outside urban areas is classified as rural. Taken together, urban and rural areas cover all of Canada.
The geographic units used for the delineation of urban areas for 2006 are urban areas as defined for the 2001 Census, and dissemination blocks as defined for the 2006 Census.
The content of the complete cumulative profile – Income and earnings, and Shelter costs – was expanded to include 62 additional data lines related to Immigrant status and place of birth and 47 additional data lines for recent immigrants and selected places of birth. This expanded content is similar to what was produced from the 2001 Census and provides more detailed places of birth for the total immigrant population and for the recent immigrant population. In addition to this expanded content, a data quality note has been added in reference to the age at immigration variable appearing in both the cumulative profile and the topic-based tabulation.
