Data provider: Statistics Canada Product group: NHS, 2011 - Target group profile Description: Target group profiles (TGP) provide Census and NHS Profile variables for a subset, or target group, of the population. In this TGP, the target group is the visible minority population. Notes: Further information on the definition of visible minorities: http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/ref/guides/99-010-x/99-010-x2011... Target group profiles (TGPs) provide data for a specific group of persons (a "target group"). All variables in the target group profile relate to these persons: their age, their gender, their family status (e.g. are they in a census family), the languages they speak, and so on. Because TGPs deal with the universe of persons, they do not contain any family- or household-specific variables. For example, the number of census families in private households does not relate to a person, but to a family, and so it is not included in TGPs.
