Issue

Concept:

These two tables measure components in- and out- of migration for the following three geographies: provinces, census metropolitan areas (CMA) and census agglomerations (CA), presented as follows:

• Total in-migrants
  • Intraprovincial in-migrants
  • Interprovincial in-migrants
  • External in-migrants
• Total out-migrants
  • Intraprovincial out-migrants
  • Interprovincial out-migrants

Problems:

1. The number of intraprovincial in-migrants for the CMA/CA includes the intraprovincial migrants within the CMA/CA but they should not have been included. The total number of intraprovincial in-migrants is affected. The problem affects the two tables with components of migration (1 and 5 years).
2. The number of intraprovincial out-migrants for the CMA/CA includes the intraprovincial migrants within the CMA/CA but they should not have been included. The total number of intraprovincial out-migrants is affected. The problem affects the two tables with components of migration (1 and 5 years).
3. The counts for Cape Breton and New Brunswick were inverted. The problem affects the two tables with components of migration (1 and 5 years).

Resolution

The tables were re-run to exclude the intraprovincial migrants (in- and out-) within the CMA/CA and the ordering of the data for Cape Breton and New Brunswick has been corrected.
