That report includes all economic immigrants, which includes Quebec as well as PNPs.Indy_GT said:Can you share your reference & calculation for arriving at the 1.7 ratio. The numbers I saw gave a ratio ~ of 2.2 for 2015
Table 2: Knowledge of Official Languages Among Permanent Residents, 2015
Immigration Class English French Both Neither Not Stated Total
Economic Immigrants — Principal Applicants 60,678 3,052 10,027 2,917 14 76,688
Economic Immigrants — Spouses and Dependants 64,096 4,401 4,637 20,505 71 93,710
Total Economic Immigration ,24,774 7,453 14,664 23,422 85 1,70,398
So of the total 170K for economic class, ~77K were Primary applicants which give a ratio of approx 2.2 which I sense can be carried forward for this year.
