As well, additional instructions were provided to respondents in the 2011 NHS Guide:

Part A - Short definition

Not applicable

Part B - Detailed definition

Place of birth refers to the name of the province, territory or country in which the person was born. It may refer to a province or territory if the person was born in Canada.

Additional Information

Reported in: 2011

Reported for: Population in private households

Question no.: Direct variable: Question 9

Responses: Response categories included 13 mark-in circles representing each province and territory of Canada for those 'Born in Canada' and one write-in space where those 'Born outside Canada' could specify their country of birth.

Refer to Appendix 1.5 for the places of birth disseminated in the 2011 National Household Survey.

Remarks: The 2011 NHS Place of birth question is: 'Where was this person born?'

Respondents were asked to indicate their place of birth according to the boundaries in existence on May 10, 2011, the reference date for the National Household Survey. For example, respondents born in an area which, at the time of their birth, was part of the Northwest Territories but which is now part of the territory of Nunavut were asked to write 'Nunavut'; respondents born in an area which, at the time of their birth, was part of the USSR but which is now part of Kazakhstan were asked to write 'Kazakhstan'.

As well, additional instructions were provided to respondents in the 2011 NHS Guide:

For persons born in any of the six counties of Northern Ireland:

-report 'Republic of Ireland.'

For persons born in the former U.S.S.R., the former Yugoslavia or the former Czechoslovakia:

- report the name of the independent country or republic according to the boundaries in existence on May 10, 2011. For example, a person who was born in the former
U.S.S.R. should report the specific country or republic that is now a nation state-Ukraine, Latvia, Russia, etc.

For persons who are not sure of the country because its boundaries have changed since the time of birth:

-report the name of the nearest city, state or province.

For adopted persons:

-report the place of birth of their adoptive parents if place of birth is unknown for the adopted person or for the adopted person's birth parents.

The place of birth of respondent, place of birth of father and place of birth of mother questions are used to derive the Generation status variable.
