Crime & Immigration Analysis by Canadian Metropolitan Area
This section compares Crime Severity Index (2024) with immigration patterns (2016-2021 Census) for major Canadian cities. Data from Statistics Canada Table 35-10-0026-01 and 2021 Census. Note: Annual immigration data by CMA is not publicly available; Census provides 5-year snapshots.

👥 Immigration Distribution by City (2016-2021)
ℹ️ Data Note: Statistics Canada only publishes detailed immigration-by-city data every 5 years during the census. The 2021 Census (covering 2016-2021 arrivals) is the most recent available. Next update: 2026 Census results in 2027.
🔍 CSI vs Immigration - Correlation Analysis
🔎 Key Findings: Crime & Immigration Correlation Analysis
What the Data Shows:
- Mixed results: No clear pattern between immigration levels and crime severity
- Toronto: Received 28.5% of recent immigrants (391,680 2016-2021), CSI 59.4 - 24% below national average
- Montreal: Received 11.8% of immigrants (162,260), CSI 61.7 - 21% below national average
- Vancouver: Received 11.3% of immigrants (154,815), CSI 81.2 - 4% above national average but declining (was 88.3 in 2023)
- Surrey: Received 2.9% of immigrants (39,910), CSI 100.5 - 29% above national average but declining (was 110.77 in 2023)
- Highest crime cities: Chilliwack (CSI 141.7), Kamloops (129.9), Winnipeg (124.4) receive minimal immigration (0.1-3.4%)
Important Context:
- Multiple factors affect crime: Economic conditions, poverty rates, substance abuse, policing policies, demographics, geography
- Regional patterns: BC interior cities show highest CSI; Ontario cities typically below average
- Data limitations: Annual immigration by CMA not publicly available; analysis uses 5-year Census snapshot (2016-2021) compared to 2024 CSI
- CSI measurement: Base = 100 (Canada 2006); reflects both volume and severity of crime weighted by court sentencing
📌 Conclusion: The data shows no consistent pattern linking immigration to crime severity. Toronto and Montreal (40.3% of newcomers) have below-average CSI, while Vancouver (11.3%) and Surrey (2.9%) are above average but both declining. The highest-crime cities (Chilliwack 141.7, Kamloops 129.9, Winnipeg 124.4) receive minimal immigration. Crime patterns appear more strongly linked to regional and local factors than immigration levels.

💰 Tax Contribution Reality: Indigenous vs Non-Indigenous Canadians
Median Income Comparison (2020)
Tax Exemption Reality
Myth: All Indigenous people are tax-exempt
Reality: Only ~314,000 people eligible for tax exemptions (less than 1% of Canada's population)
Requirements: Must be Status Indian + income earned on reserve + living/working on reserve
Key Fact: ~55% of Indigenous people (770,000+) don't qualify because they're Métis, Inuit, non-Status, or live off-reserve

Key Insights
Conservative (Harper 2006-2015): Maintained relatively stable funding at ~$11B annually with minimal growth
Liberal (Trudeau 2015-2024): Nearly tripled funding from $11B to $32B, focusing heavily on child welfare
Major Categories: Child Welfare ($23B in 2024), Healthcare ($7.5B), Education ($2.3B), Housing/Infrastructure ($1.0B), Water Infrastructure ($0.4B)
Tax Reality: Indigenous Canadians contribute proportionally less in taxes due to 15.5% lower median income ($34,800 vs $41,200 in 2020), not widespread exemptions. Most Indigenous people pay full income, sales, and property taxes.
