The growth compared to last year's months was almost threefold - 177% and 172%, respectively.
The number of immigrants from China has become the highest since 2017, although there were only nine people in 2020.
Almost all of those who moved are Kazakhs.
Half of the immigrants from China settled in the capital or Almaty; almost every fifth settled in the Almaty region.
Regarding Mongolia, the most popular region is the Aqmola Oblast (33%), with Astana and Almaty accounting for slightly more than a third (23% and 13%).
