Research Data Centres (RDCs) promote and facilitate research that uses Statistics Canada microdata within secure facilities managed by Statistics Canada. They include University based RDCs, Government based RDCs in Federal and Provincial/Territorial government buildings and Secure Access Points in approved locations where employees from all levels of government can access microdata.
Researchers who become deemed employees of Statistics Canada access a wide variety of data, including social and business surveys, administrative data and linked data. The confidentiality of respondents is protected through the use of policies and procedures that create a culture of confidentiality within the research community.
