Assignment 2 - Update 1

For my final project, I will base my story on the top 15 countries who have gained permanent and temporary residency in Canada. I want to know if the number residents accepted has increase or decreased and what may have cause these changes. Also the percent change from 2003 to 2012

1. The data set I will use for this project is an immigration overview of permanent and temporary residents. It comes from citizenship and immigration Canada statistics.

2. this data shows permanent residents by source country from 2003 to 2012.

3. I will use this data as basis for my story by figuring out percentage increase and decrease from the top 15 countries.

4. I understand the formatting of my data because the columns are clear with source country and years.

5. some questions I want to answer with this data is:
- Has the number of residents accepted increase or decreased since 2003?
-Which countries have the highest and which one has lowest percentage increase/decrease of residents accepted in Canada?
- Which country has the most drastic percentage change?
- What could have contributes to these changes.
