Fee for statistical data

Fees

🍁 In Simple Terms

Asking the department for immigration numbers it has not already published costs money, and the meter runs on database time: $100 for the first ten minutes or less, then $30 for every additional minute or part of a minute. Department employees and staff of the Data Development Division at Employment and Social Development Canada are exempt. Published statistics stay free, this only bites when a custom pull is needed.
