Canadian Index for Measuring Integration
How does your region perform in the Canadian Index for Measuring Integration (CIMI)?
This innovative and interactive tool allows you to measure the outcomes of immigrants in your region.
The first of its kind, this data-driven Canadian index examines four dimensions of immigrant integration in Canada to assess the gaps between immigrants and the Canadian-born population.
Explore National, Provincial, or City-Specific Data:
Economic
Economic
This dimension assesses the economic outcomes of immigrants by looking at income measures, participation in the labour force, language at work and housing.
Social
Social
This dimension examines immigrant outcomes by considering social networks, sense of belonging and experiences of discrimination.
Civic & Democratic Participation
Civic & Democratic Participation
This dimension measures immigrant outcomes by exploring degrees of civic engagement and voting.
Health
Health
This dimension evaluates immigrant outcomes through self-perceived quality of life and access to healthcare.
Why a Canadian Index?
The CIMI offers simplified rankings to showcase the realities of immigrant integration across Canada. These rankings are based on the outcome gap between immigrants and the Canadian-born population in each dimension. The smaller the gap between these two groups, the better the rank, and the closer we are to achieving parity, moving towards an inclusive society.
