New data sets at the RDC: 

Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) - now with T4 data

The Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) combines linked administrative immigration and tax data files. It is a comprehensive source of data on the socio-economic outcomes of the immigrant tax filer population in Canada. The IMDB has been updated and now includes information from T4 taxfiles.

The database is managed by Statistics Canada on behalf of a federal-provincial consortium led by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The IMDB provides detailed and reliable information on the labour market behaviour of different categories of immigrants over a period that is long enough to assess the impact of characteristics at admission, such as education and knowledge of French or English. The database also provides information on pre-admission work or study experience in Canada, provincial mobility and family composition.

More information on this data set can be found HERE. 

The McMaster RDC is now accepting proposals for work with this data. For information on the application process, please visit https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/rdc/process
