These data were provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. They provide annual counts of asylum claims, by local office where the claim was processed.
We have requested more precise information from IRCC as to where these offices are located.
The file package contains two versions of the file. The file beginning "updated table-CR-24-0570 OPP-DART-2024-29112 CR-24-0570..." was sent after requesting information on the location of the offices. Note that the table has changed somewhat. Previously, asylum claims from a particular office could be listed in a province other than where that office is located. The more recent version of the table only lists claims in the province where the office is located. For example, the previous table lists Windsor, Winnipeg IRCC and Irregular Migration Montreal in Alberta. This is not the case in the most recent version.
We have asked for additional information regarding this change, as well as additional information on the location of the offices.
Please note that in these datasets, the figures have been suppressed or rounded to prevent the identification of individuals when the datasets are compiled and compared with other publicly available statistics. Values between 0 and 5 are shown as “--“ and all other values are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5. This may result in the sum of the figures not equating to the totals indicated.
