Canada Permits reproduces published Statistics Canada figures. It does not invent missing municipal breakouts. Method detail: methodology.

Municipal portals

Selected cities may also cite a municipal open-data permit feed as a faster local signal. Cross-city comparisons on this atlas still rest on the federal survey.
