The information on the one million jobs comes from the Statistics Canada labour force survey. This survey is updated every month.

My understanding of your one million jobs is that, while we were in the middle of the pandemic, we had one million jobs below the level we had before the pandemic. Since then, we increased the level of employment, so we're back to where we were before the pandemic.
