Data Limitations
These sources did not take into account information on post-citizenship mortality (people
who survived after obtaining the citizenship certificate using the survivorship ratio). Thus,
a person may have received a citizenship certificate in 2011 and passed away in 2014.
However, the MoHA database would still include this individual. Therefore, the data also
includes those persons who have died or might die during the years 2012 to 2014.
