As the 2007 survey of 2005 graduates includes for the first time graduates of an “Attestation of College Studies” in Quebec, comparability of data with previous cycles for college graduates is affected, especially at the provincial level for Quebec. Notes: To convert this current dollar data to constant dollar amounts for comparison over time, it is recommended that the Consumer Price Index be used. For the index and further details on converting see Table F.1.3. Due to differences in the index chosen, converted data may not be directly comparable to that in Education Indicators in Canada: Report of the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program (PCEIP) 2007. College includes a 2005 level of certification reported as: Community college or CEGEP certificate or diploma; Technical institute diploma or certificate; or Hospital school of nursing or school of radiology certificate or diploma. College excludes: Registered apprenticeship; Trade/vocational certificate or diploma; graduates from private post-secondary institutions. University includes a 2005 level of certification reported as: University diploma or certificate below bachelor level; Bachelor's degree or first professional degree; University diploma or certificate above bachelor level but below master level; Master's degree; or Doctorate.
