I’m scribbling down hair brained ideas for an upcoming podcast episode when I hear it… A voice, calling ever so faintly from inside our recording studio. Come in; the night air is chill, and you must need to eat and rest. What follows is a true event, it’s the first interview of its kind. And it’s not for the faint of heart. Tune in if you dare…

Description: Canada’s population growth, driven by changing levels of permanent residents and non-permanent residents, has contributed to notable demographic shifts. These changes may be placing new pressures on the education system, prompting a need to better understand how immigration trends could influence enrolment across all levels of schooling. In response, this paper examines projected changes in elementary and secondary school enrolment in Canada from 2026 to 2030, with a focus on the marginal impact of changes in immigration levels at the national and regional levels.

Description:

The objective of this study is to examine the feasibility of using provincial and territorial health care files of new registrants as an independent measure of preliminary inter-provincial and inter-territorial migration. The study aims at measuring the conceptual and quantifiable differences between this data source and our present source of the Canada Revenue Agency's Canadian Child Tax Benefit.

Criteria were established to assess the quality and appropriateness of these provincial/territorial health care records as a proxy for our migration estimates: coverage, consistency, timeliness, reliability, level of detail, uniformity and accuracy.

Based on the present analysis, the paper finds that these data do not ameliorate the estimates and would not be suitable at this time as a measure of inter-provincial/territorial migration. These Medicare data though are an important independent data source that can be used for quality evaluation.
