Building permits in Canada jump 11.6% in April

Statistics Canada released housing market data on Monday. Building permits in Canada rose 11.6% in April, after a 13.6% gain in March.

March's figure was revised up from a 11.6% rise.

The increase was partly driven by a rise in construction permits in the residential and non-residential sectors in Ontario.

Building permits for non-residential construction jumped 30.2% in April, while permits in the residential sector rose 1.2%.
