SOCIAL ASSISTANCE
This section focuses on Access to Social Assistance by Admission Categories of Immigrants who were admitted into Canada in 1) 2019 and filed their tax in 2020 and 2) 2020 and filed their tax in 2021.
The Access to Social Assistance by Admission Categories data visual is developed using the Longitudinal Immigration Database that combines linked administrative immigration and tax data files. It is a comprehensive source of data on the socio-economic outcomes of the immigrant taxfiler population in Canada. In partnership with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the national network of Local Immigration Partnerships (LIP), the Community Data Program has acquired a set of data tables tracking the mobility and economic outcomes of Canada’s newcomer population over several years.
