About this dataset
Mobility refers to the movement of individuals on a geographic basis, whether it’s international migration between B.C. and the rest of the world or inter-provincial migration between B.C. and other Canadian jurisdictions. The term mobility encompasses those statistics that show the number of migrants, where they’re going to and where they’re coming from. Note: As part of the May 2024 update, Statistics Canada revised its calculation methods for estimating the numbers of emigrants and returning emigrants going back to census year 2016-17. Before 2016-17, short-term emigrants and short-term returning emigrants are included in the “Net Temporary Emigrants” component. From 2016-17 and after, they are included in the "Emigrants" and "Returning Emigrants" components using a different estimation methodology than previously. Due to this change, the "Net Temporary Emigrants" component is not calculated from 2016-17 onwards. Emigrant and returning emigrant estimates for periods before 2016-17 are not entirely comparable to subsequent estimates. Sources Regional Districts: Statistics Canada.
