The two public use microdata files from the 2010 Canadian Internet Use Survey are now available.
Note to readers
The 2010 Canadian Internet Use Survey, sponsored by Industry Canada, was conducted in October and November as a supplement to the Labour Force Survey.
The first file, the household component, contains information collected from more than 30,000 private households in the 10 provinces. The second file, the individual component, contains information collected from more than 22,000 respondents aged 16 and over in the 10 provinces.
The household component provides information about household access to the Internet, including connection type and devices used to access the Internet. The individual component includes information on the frequency and intensity of Internet use, the specific uses of the Internet from the home, the purchase of products and services (electronic commerce), and other issues related to Internet use such as concerns over privacy.
The content for both files is supplemented by information on socio-economic characteristics (e.g., household income) and some sub-provincial geographic detail.
