What this measures
Asylum claimants. IRCC publishes asylum claims as monthly tables, not a live feed.
Who publishes it
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. This figure comes from the linked national publisher, not a UK figure transferred to another country.
How to read it
The reference period is not available. Publication age and the period covered are different; a recent download does not make an old observation new. Blank values remain blank.
Comparability and limitations
Asylum claims, encounters, detected illegal presence, orders to leave and returns measure different events. None is a count of everyone living irregularly in the country; categories cannot be added together to estimate a population.
