Footnotes for Table 1
Footnote 1 These statistics are as of January 8, 2022. Reporting period is January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. All data have been rounded.

Footnote 2 The listed province/territory is where the individual was a resident on December 31, 2021, as reported on their return. An individual can have multiple returns (current and previous years) filed under more than one province or territory. Provincial/territorial totals will not add up to national totals. This is because national totals include counts for those whose province/territory of residence could not be identified when the data was gathered.

Footnote 3 Totals include figures for federal returns for all provinces and territories (including Quebec).
