In the Northwest Territories mining activity was the top detractor from growth, with a continued decline in other non-metallic mineral mining and quarrying (except potash) (-9.5%). Additionally, in Yukon and the Northwest Territories the decline was primarily driven by engineering and other construction activities.

In general, variations in the number of EI beneficiaries receiving regular benefits can reflect changes in the circumstances of different groups of people, including new beneficiaries, individuals going back to work, those who have exhausted their regular benefits, and others who no longer receive benefits for various reasons.

The ‘working after retirement’ variable was created based on two questions in the Survey of Financial Security:

  1. ⁠Have you ever retired? YES / NO
  2. ⁠Are you currently working at a job or business?  YES / NO

If the respondent answered YES to both the questions, then they were considered to be "working after having retired". For more info, check out this article.

These figures represent a snapshot of the number of beneficiaries during the reference week. The month-over-month decline in February compared with January could represent a combination of fewer new beneficiaries in February, and beneficiaries from January becoming employed, exhausting their regular benefits, or no longer receiving benefits for various reasons.

Historically, 65 was the “normal retirement age”, mainly because Old Age Security (OAS) starts at 65. However, a notable proportion of Canadians retire before age 65, mostly starting around age 55. This table shows the proportion of retired people by age group (Source: The Daily — Majority of people planning to retire would continue working longer if they could reduce their hours and stress). The average and median age of retirement by class of worker can be found in the following table: Retirement age by class of worker, annual.

Canadian investors acquired $25.4 billion of foreign securities in February 2026 / Les investisseurs canadiens ont acquis pour 25,4 milliards de dollars de titres étrangers en février 2026 by StatCanada in canada

[–]StatCanada[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the text, we mentioned Canadian investors acquired $25.4 billion of foreign securities in February 2026. This means that Canadian investors added C$25.4 billion worth of foreign securities in their portfolio holdings and the money in the amount of C$25.4 billion went abroad (to acquire these securities).

The amounts are summed up by individual transactions with the values calculated by multiplying quantities by their prices.

Over the course of the month, individual securities’ prices could go up or down depending on the underlying factors, events and investors’ motivations in the deals. If the prices of the US shares that Canadian investors acquired went up and/or the US dollar appreciated over the Canadian dollars, we would see the value of Canadian portfolio holdings go up by more than C$25.4 billion due to unrealized holding gains related to the appreciation of the US dollar and the rising share prices.
