The Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) is a comprehensive source of data that plays a key role in the understanding of the economic behaviour of immigrants. It is the only annual Canadian dataset that allows users to study the characteristics of immigrants to Canada at the time of admission and their economic outcomes and regional (inter-provincial) mobility over a time span of more than 30 years. The IMDB combines administrative files on immigrant admissions and non-permanent resident permits from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) with tax files from the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA). Information is available for immigrant taxfilers admitted since 1980. Tax records for 1982 and subsequent years are available for immigrant taxfilers. This report will discuss the IMDB data sources, concepts and variables, record linkage, data processing, dissemination, data evaluation and quality indicators, comparability with other immigration datasets, and the analyses possible with the IMDB.
Release date: 2018-12-10 - 2. Linking the 2006 Census of Population to the Canadian Mortality Database: Descriptive and Validation Study ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-633-X2018014Description:
The Canadian Mortality Database (CMDB) is an administrative database that collects information on cause of death from all provincial and territorial vital statistics registries in Canada. The CMDB lacks subpopulation identifiers to examine mortality rates and disparities among groups such as First Nations, Métis, Inuit and members of visible minority groups. Linkage between the CMDB and the Census of Population is an approach to circumvent this limitation. This report describes a linkage between the CMDB (2006 to 2011) and the 2006 Census of Population, which was carried out using hierarchical deterministic exact matching, with a focus on methodology and validation.

Release date: 2018-01-08 - 4. Record Linkage between the 2006 Census of the Population and the Canadian Mortality Database ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X201700014739Description:
Vital statistics datasets such as the Canadian Mortality Database lack identifiers for certain populations of interest such as First Nations, Métis and Inuit. Record linkage between vital statistics and survey or other administrative datasets can circumvent this limitation. This paper describes a linkage between the Canadian Mortality Database and the 2006 Census of the Population and the planned analysis using the linked data.

The Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) combines the Immigrant Landing File (ILF) with annual tax files. This record linkage is performed using a tax filer database. The ILF includes all immigrants who have landed in Canada since 1980. In looking to enhance the IMDB, the possibility of adding temporary residents (TR) and immigrants who landed between 1952 and 1979 (PRE80) was studied. Adding this information would give a more complete picture of the immigrant population living in Canada. To integrate the TR and PRE80 files into the IMDB, record linkages between these two files and the tax filer database, were performed. This exercise was challenging in part due to the presence of duplicates in the files and conflicting links between the different record linkages.

Information collection is critical for chronic-disease surveillance to measure the scope of diseases, assess the use of services, identify at-risk groups and track the course of diseases and risk factors over time with the goal of planning and implementing public-health programs for disease prevention. It is in this context that the Quebec Integrated Chronic Disease Surveillance System (QICDSS) was established. The QICDSS is a database created by linking administrative files covering the period from 1996 to 2013. It is an attractive alternative to survey data, since it covers the entire population, is not affected by recall bias and can track the population over time and space. In this presentation, we describe the relevance of using administrative data as an alternative to survey data, the methods selected to build the population cohort by linking various sources of raw data, and the processing applied to minimize bias. We will also discuss the advantages and limitations associated with the analysis of administrative files.
