Household Survey (NHS) and censuses.
• Totals in each chart or table may vary slightly from simple addition of elements within due to
rounding.
• Data source: Stats Canada National Household Survey (NHS) 2011, Census 2006 and 2011 profiles.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS:
Recent immigrants are immigrants who arrived in Canada between January 1, 2006 and May 10, 2011.
Metro Vancouver comprises 21 municipalities, one electoral district and one First Nation located in the

Census refers to the population Census of Canada, which is taken at five-year intervals and counts
persons and households and a wide variety of characteristics.
Canada National Household Survey: Starting in 2011, information previously collected by the
mandatory long-form census questionnaire is collected as part of the voluntary National Household
Survey. Complementing the data collected by the census, the NHS is designed to provide information
about people in Canada by their demographic, social and economic characteristics as well as provide
information about the housing units in which they live.
