Statistics

The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada gathers statistics on a wide range of aspects of Canada’s involvement with Asia. These cover trade, investment, people flows and profiles of Canada’s ethnic Asian population. Statistics on trade are updated quarterly; those on investment either monthly or annually; and those on immigration and population either annually or as new national census data is released.

Trade

Statistics on trade cover Canada’s bilateral trade with each of 17 partners in the Asia Pacific region, showing year- to-date and comparable figures for earlier periods. Bilateral statistics also show imports and exports for the latest full year broken down by major products. In addition the trade statistics show regional totals, with breakdown by products.

Investment

Statistics on investment show inward and outward flows to Asia, broken down by country, and to the major regions of the world, with comparative figures for past years. This section also offers the Asia Pacific Foundation’s unique tabulation of new Canadian ventures in Asia and new Asian ventures in Canada.

Population

Immigration
