The population is composed of all immigrants admitted to Canada since 1952 including taxfilers and non-taxfilers.

Information on migration history, pre-admission experience in Canada (such as work or study permits), socio-economic outcomes (over a period long enough to assess the impact of immigrant characteristics upon admission, including admission category, education, knowledge of French or English, on outcomes), all the admission data (except emigration and mortality), immigration characteristics, sociodemographic characteristics, citizenship acquisition since 2005, as well as express entry data, wages, children, settlement services and date of death are collected in the database since 1952. Information about death is collected from Statistics Canada’s Amalgamated Mortality Database (AMDB) and the Canadian Mortality Database. Detailed data data on immigrants admitted through the Express Entry (EE) application management system are also included in the database. Detailed information regarding Quebec’s own admission, selection program for admission years starting from 2012, is included in the Quebec admissions file.
