Statistics Canada's challenge is to find a classification that reflects the country as a whole and respects existing usage as much as possible. The difficulty is that differences among jurisdictions make it difficult to apply one province's classification to another province or territory.

The Centre for Education Statistics (CES) will continue to receive feedback and the classification will continue to evolve. An important part of consultation has been ongoing use of the Registerof postsecondary and adult education providers and the Centre's own experience with it. Users of the Register will become familiar with the classification and will continue to advise the CES of any concerns. Providers, associations, and governments are encouraged to use the Register to find out how providers are being classified, and to contact the CES with their questions or concerns.

Any changes to the classification and accompanying definitions will be announced on the Register website at http://www27.statcan.ca/IP_Internet/English/Browse/EntryForm.asp.
