Between May and August 2011, Statistics Canada conducted the National Household Survey (NHS) for the first time. This voluntary, self-administered survey was introduced as a replacement for the long census questionnaire, more widely known as Census Form 2B.

The NHS is designed to collect social and economic data about the Canadian population. The objective of the NHS is to provide data for small geographic areas and small population groups.

This interactive data visualization dashboard provides an overview of preliminary quarterly data on police-reported hate crime and cybercrime in Canada. The dashboard features statistics on the number of hate crimes reported by police by type of motivation, and the number of cybercrimes reported by police by cyber-related violation. This information is presented on a quarterly and year-to-date basis for Canada and by geographic region. These data are intended as a complement to official annual police-reported crime statistics and will not affect the official annual release. This information offers a preliminary look at hate crime and cybercrime coming to the attention of police throughout the year.

This interactive tool allows users to examine recent mortality trends, by comparing the number of deaths being observed with previous years. Comparing provisional death counts and death estimates over time can be useful for understanding trends in mortality. As Canada's population grows and ages, the number of deaths is expected to increase from year to year.

During the production of each month's death statistics, data from previous months/years may be revised to reflect any updates or changes that have been received from the provincial and territorial vital statistics offices.

The quality of the weekly adjusted counts is dependent upon completeness of the death data reported to Statistics Canada. Only estimates for weeks where the level of completeness reaches 75% or more are shown. The level of completeness reaches 90% or more for almost all weeks, with a few exceptions.

To provide more up-to-date information on deaths, provisional death counts for the 2022 and 2023 reference years have been adjusted to account for reporting delays.

The data contained in this interactive dashboard comes from the Quarterly Demographic Estimates. These estimates are based on 2021 Census counts adjusted for census net undercoverage and incompletely enumerated reserves and settlements, to which are added data from the demographic growth estimates for the period from May 11, 2021, to the date of the estimate. The data presented cover the period from 1971 to the most recent year.

The components of demographic growth are illustrated based on their contribution to the population size to facilitate their interpretation.

Note that the increase in the number emigrants and returning emigrants since the third quarter of 2016 is due to changes in the methodology and terminology. However, net emigration is consistent and comparable over time.

This dashboard is designed to visualize trends in international migration at the provincial, territorial and Canada levels.
