The Québec Region
This page provides information about what we are calling the Québec Region. There are no LIPs in Québec. However, immigration data are provided for the region, which is the same geography as the province. The census geographies used are defined at the bottom of this page, along with dashboard data and definition sources. These can also be found in the Dashboard Dictionary (dated 2020-02-03).
Geographies and their data boundaries are listed below, starting with Canada and what we are calling the Québec Region, which has the same boundaries as the Province of Québec.
