•Emigration: Permanent emigration refers to Canadian citizens or landed immigrants who leave Canada to acquire permanent residency in another country, while temporary emigration refers to Canadian citizens and immigrants living temporarily abroad who have not maintained a usual place of residence in Canada
Introduced in December 2017, the ''[https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/innovation/greening-government/strategy.html Greening Government Strategy]'' set forth ambitious climate and environmental sustainability commitments for the Government of Canada’s internal operations. The federal government has the opportunity to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the next decades while at the same time foster innovation and clean tech, reduce operating cost, and strengthen the communities in which they operate.
     −
The ''Greening Government Strategy'' specifies that federal organizations are responsible for annually reporting an inventory of GHG emissions to the ''[[Centre for Greening Government]]'' [[Centre for Greening Government|(''CGG'')]]. The ''CGG'' annually discloses all reported organizational GHG inventories and energy use on the ''[https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/innovation/greening-government/government-canada-greenhouse-gas-emissions-inventory.html Greening Government]'' website and ''[https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/6bed41cd-9816-4912-a2b8-b0b224909396?_ga=2.7556274.1865815660.1524680358-23790021.1524584607 Open Data]''.

•Based on Canadian Censuses the net exit rate of emigration for the naturalized portion of the Canadian population for the 1996-2006 period is 4.5%.
 +
 
 +
•A similar census-based estimate for the Canadian-born population yields a low net exit rate for the 1996-2006 period (1.33%) which translates into 500,000 Canadian-born leavers over the 1996-2006 period.

 +
•Over the period 1996-2006 the naturalized group exhibited a three times greater emigration rate than the Canadian-born population.
 +
 
 +
•Moreover, given these exit rates for both the Canadian and foreign-born populations, a stock of 2.78 million Canadian leavers living abroad can be estimated.
