Different data regarding the user population for Ukrainian in Canada

Currently Ethnologue mentions the number of users for Ukrainian in Canada as "102,000 (2016 census)".

This number is different from the statistics on the Statistics Canada website. The overview "Linguistic diversity and multilingualism in Canadian homes, census 2016" states that there are 110,580 L1 users for Ukrainian and also includes retention rates ("speaking one’s mother tongue at home"): 32.5% full retention rate and 19.3% partial retention rate. Source: Statistics Canada, Census of Population, 2016, https://www12-2021.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/as-sa/98-200-x/...

Not sure if this discrepancy is intentional, therefore decided to share this information.
