In 2011, almost 10% of all Canadian immigrants indicated they had immigrated when they were under 5 years of age.

In some provinces that proportion was much higher – especially in Atlantic Canada.

In Newfoundland and Labrador 18% of all immigrants were children under 5. In PEI and New Brunswick 16% of all immigrants were children under 5 and that proportion was 15% in Nova Scotia.
