The infographic features a map of Canada with the latest data, as of September 30, 2016, on the Canadian Space Agency's astronaut recruitment campaign.

On each province and territory, there is a circle containing the number of candidates who reached the cut-off score on the public service entrance exam, and the percentage of the total number of candidates who reached the cut-off score.

Here are the statistics in detail.

  • Yukon: 3 people; 0.2%
  • Northwest Territories: 4 people; 0.2%
  • Nunavut: 1 person; 0.1%

183 candidates outside Canada also reached the cut-off score, which is 10.7% of the total number of 1,706.

Of the candidates who reached the cut-off score, 68.6% are men and 25.3% are women. The other 6% did not declare their sex, which is subject to voluntary disclosure.

Note: Due to rounding, percentages may not add up to 100%.
