External migrant: Refers to a person who moved to Calgary from a different country.
*Mode of transportation to work*	Refers to the main mode of transportation a person uses to travel between his or her home and his or her place of work. Persons who used more than one mode of transportation were asked to identify the single mode they used for most of the travel distance. The question does not measure multiple modes of transportation, nor does it measure the seasonal variation in mode of transportation or trips made for purposes other than the commute from home to work.

*Mother tongue*	Refers to the first language learned at home in childhood and still understood by the person at the time the data was collected. If the person no longer understands the first language learned, the mother tongue is the second language learned. For a person who learned two languages at the same time in early childhood, the mother tongue is the language this person spoke most often at home before starting school. The person has two mother tongues only if the two languages were used equally often and are still understood by the person. For a child who has not yet learned to speak, the mother tongue is the language spoken most often to this child at home. The child has two mother tongues only if both languages are spoken equally often so that the child learns both languages at the same time.
*Place of birth*	Refers to the name of the geographic location where the person was born. The geographic location is specified according to boundaries current at the time the data are collected, not the boundaries at the time of birth.

*Visible minority*	Refers to persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non- white in colour.
