Figure 1: Decision tree for the derivation of non-permanent resident type
Figure 1 shows the decision tree for the derivation for non-permanent resident type. Non-permanent resident type is broken down into five categories: asylum claimant, non-permanent resident with work permit only, non-permanent resident with study permit only, non-permanent resident with work and study permit and other non-permanent resident type.
The categories of non-permanent resident type are mutually exclusive and derived in the following order of classification.
The derivation of non-permanent resident type begins with asylum claimants. This includes asylum claimants with a work and/or study permit as refugee claims supersede other permits.
Then, non-permanent residents are assigned by the type of permits held. If they just have a work permit, they are assigned to the category non-permanent resident with work permit only. If they just have a study permit, they are assigned to the category non-permanent resident with study permit only. If they have both a work permit and a study permit, they are assigned to the category non-permanent resident with work and study permit.
Lastly, respondents who are not Canadian citizens, permanent residents, asylum claimants or work or study permit holders, but have a usual place of residence in Canada, are assigned to the category other non-permanent resident type.
