The X axis is divided into 10 categories. On the X axis, from left to right, the categories represent the following periods of immigration: Before 1961, 1961 to 1965, 1966 to 1970, 1971 to 1975, 1976 to 1980, 1981 to 1985, 1986 to 1990, 1991 to 1995, 1996 to 2000, and 2001 to 2006.

The third line represents the use of a language other than English or French most often at work for the 2001 Census.
