Abstract

In the 2006 Census individuals aged 15 and over were asked to provide the location where their highest certificate, diploma or degree was obtained according to the boundaries in existence on Census Day, May 16, 2006. For the population with postsecondary certification, the map shows by census division and census subdivision, the location of study of the highest level of educational attainment as classified into the following three classes:

• Inside Canada, same province or territory as province or territory of residence
• Inside Canada, different province or territory than province or territory of residence
• Outside Canada.

The data were collected only from individuals who had completed a certificate, diploma or degree above the secondary (high) school level. The information shown on the map is important in measuring the national and international flow of skilled Canadians, regardless of whether they are Canadian-born or immigrants.
