Glossary
The definitions in this glossary are adapted from the 2021 Statistics Canada Census Dictionary (98-301-X).

Adjusted Refers to after-tax income of the statistical unit that is adjusted for economies of scale. The
after-tax adjustment factor, also known as the equivalence scale, is the square root of the number
income of persons in the statistical unit. The adjusted after-tax income is calculated by dividing the
after-tax income by this adjustment factor. The adjustment made to income addresses the
fact that individuals living together can share resources and the marginal increase in need
decreases as the number of individuals sharing resources increases.
For the 2021 Census, the reference period for income data is the 2020 calendar year,
unless otherwise specified.

Admission Refers to the name of the immigration program or group of programs under which an
category immigrant has been granted for the first time the right to live in Canada permanently by

• Immigrant sponsored by family includes immigrants who were sponsored by a

• Refugee includes immigrants who were granted permanent resident status on the

affected by civil war or armed conflict or have suffered a massive violation of human
rights. Some refugees were in Canada when they applied for refugee protection for
themselves and their family members (either with them in Canada or abroad). Others
were abroad and were referred for resettlement to Canada by the United Nations
Refugee Agency, another designated referral organization or private sponsors.
• Other immigrant includes immigrants who were granted permanent resident status
under a program that does not fall under the economic immigrants, the immigrants
sponsored by family or the refugee categories.
