Another set of table give the mode of transportation and commuting time between CMA/CA.


http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-re...NAMEE=&VNAMEF=

Since people can declared their residence different then they were temporary residing on census day. This can produce some interesting results:

Set
Geography: to Vancouver
Geography Type: Place of Work
Commuting Distance: Less then 15 minutes
Sex: Total

eg.
There were 90 respondents who travel between Toronto and Vancouver under 15 minutes.
(10 by public transit and 40 by active transport) Are there any portals that be should know about.

As a footnote, Stats Canada does state.

"The census assumes that the commute to work originates from the usual place of residence, but this may not always be the case. Sometimes, respondents may be on a business trip and may have reported their place of work or main mode of commuting based on where they were working during the trip. Some persons maintain a residence close to work and commute to their home on weekends. Students often work after school at a location near their school. As a result, the data may show unusual commutes or unusual main modes of commuting."
