The article focuses on the data provided by the Central Population Register of Poland on the flow of foreigners including the immigrants and the Polish nationals for permanent stay in the country. It informs that the data based on Poland's Labour Force Survey (LFS) is not accurate as the method fails to track international migration and document the foreigners. Several charts supporting the data are also presented.

The article presents several tables from the journal "Recent Trends in International Migration in Poland' in the December 2011 issue, depicting the pattern of migration on various criteria including major destinations and sex from 2005-2009, sex and age from 2005-2009 and provinces of origin from 2005-2009.

The article focuses on migration from Poland which is assessed from the official statistical source, the Central Population Register. It also informs that the Polish Labour Force Survey (LFS) keeps a record of temporary migrants aged 15 years or above which is not accurate so a statistical test by the Centre of Migration Research (CMR) is considered a good source of data on migration dynamics. It also presents various charts and graphs to represent the data of Polish migrants and citizens.
