Application process and guidelines - RDC

Applications for data access are submitted through the Microdata Access Portal (MAP) as outlined below.

Academic and federal, provincial/territorial government researchers can apply for access to microdata for research projects through the MAP.

Researchers can submit a request to access samples from the Statistics Canada biobank.

New record linkages require additional approval from Statistics Canada. The linkage must be conducted at Statistics Canada. Moreover, fees may be charged for this service.

If you require a new microdata linkage for social data, do not submit your request through the MAP. Visit the Social Data Linkage Environment webpage for more information on social microdata linkage at Statistics Canada.

If you require a new microdata linkage for business data, do not submit your request through the MAP. Visit the Business Linkable File Environment (B-LFE) webpage for more information on business microdata linkage at Statistics Canada.

Application forms

Part 1: Steps for submitting an application

Follow steps 1-5 to apply for access to microdata through the Microdata Access Portal (MAP). The steps below serve as a guide to preparing the online application.

  • Step 1: Create an account

    Step 1: Create an account

    New users need to register for an account in the MAP. This account can be used for all projects submitted through the MAP and account settings can be updated as required.

  • Step 2: Determine type of application

    Step 2: Determine type of application

    Principal Investigators (PIs) will answer a series of questions that will determine the type of application. This includes questions about the project origin and the project type.

    Origin of the project

    Is your project a government-funded project, an academic project, or other project?

    Government-funded project

    A government-funded project is a project funded by any level of government, except if the funding is a grant from an organization covered under the academic project. Consultants (including academics) hired on contract to a government organization apply under this application type.

    Academic project

    An academic project is conducted by a member of a post-secondary institution such as a faculty member, student (if the project forms an integral part of thesis or dissertation, or is a post-doctoral project) or staff of a Canadian post-secondary institution. The following is the list of the agencies which are providing core financial support for the sustained research activities of the Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN):

    • Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)
    • Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
    • Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)
    • Fonds de recherche du Québec - Santé (FRQS)
    • Fonds de recherche du Québec - Société et culture (FRQSC)
    • Fonds de Recherche du Québec - Nature et technologies (FRQNT)

    An academic project is not funded by a government organization or other third party.

    Other project

    Some projects will not fall into the two categories above. In this case, choose 'other' as the project type.

    Type of project

    Below is an explanation of the various types of projects that will help you determine which item to choose for your MAP application. Only one project type can be selected for each project.

    a. Research project

    A research project is a single project designed to answer a main research question.

    b. Sub-project - part of an existing research project

    A sub-project is when the main research project question generates a sub-question on the same topic. Researchers will need their main project number from the affiliated research project to submit an application.

    c. Program that includes multiple research projects on the same topic

    A program of research may include a series of projects linked by a common theme.

    d. Research project that is part of an existing program

    Once a program is approved by Statistics Canada, research projects that go under the program can be submitted. Researchers will need their main project number from the affiliated research project to submit an application.

    e. Data validation project

    Researchers performing data validation activities on behalf of Statistics Canada. Contact the Statistics Canada employee who requested your assistance with data validation activities.

    f. Academic course

    Faculty requesting access to microdata for the purpose of teaching a graduate level course on methodology related to complex survey data analysis should visit the User Community page and contact their local analyst.

    Once all the questions above have been answered, the type of application will be confirmed.

Data available at the Research Data Centres

The following datasets are available at the Research Data Centres (RDCs).

RDC proposals requiring more data related information

Refer to these survey specific guidelines for RDC proposals requesting the following data:

Research Data Centres projects and publications

The Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN) hosts a bibliography of research papers published by researchers involved in the program.

The RDC Program posts a list of all new projects which have become active in the RDCs within the last 12 months. This list is updated quarterly.

The Information and Technical Bulletin (ITB) provides a forum for RDC researchers to exchange practical information and techniques for analyzing datasets available at the RDCs. It is released on an occasional basis.

Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD) linked to the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD)

This project creates a LAD – DAD linkage key that allows users to link data on acute inpatient hospitalizations from the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) with data on income and employment from the Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD). The resulting analytical files will allow for the study of relationships between income and hospitalizations such as the study of labour market and financial outcomes experienced by individuals and their families following hospitalizations resulting from acute illness and injuries for example.

The LAD – DAD linkage key allows users to link the Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD) with the hospital discharge events obtained from the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) for all provinces and territories (excluding Quebec). LAD records contain information for a 20% longitudinal sample of Canadian tax filers between 1982 and 2016 and can be linked to the DAD hospitalization records for fiscal years 1997/98 through 2016/17 via the linkage key.

The data

Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD)

The LAD is a random, 20% sample of the T1 Family File (T1FF) tax database. Selection for LAD is based on an individual's social insurance number (SIN). There is no age restriction, but people without a SIN can only be included in the family component. Once a person is selected for the LAD, the individual remains in the sample and is picked up each year from the T1FF if he or she appears on the T1 that year. Individuals selected for the LAD are linked across years by a unique non-confidential LAD identification number (LIN__I) generated from the SIN, to create a longitudinal profile of each individual.

The LAD is augmented each year with a sample of new tax filers so that it consists of approximately 20% of tax filers for every year. The 20% sample has increased from 3,227,485 people in 1982 to 5,579,280 in 2016 (an increase of 73%). This increase reflects increases in the Canadian population and increases in the incidence of tax filing as a result of the introduction of the Federal sales tax credit in 1986 and the Goods and Services Tax credit in 1989.

For more information regarding the LAD, please refer to the LAD Data Dictionary available from your RDC analyst.

Discharge Abstract Database (DAD)

The Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) captures administrative, clinical and demographic information on hospital discharges (including in-hospital deaths, sign-outs and transfers) from all provinces and territoriesFootnote 1, except Quebec. Over time, the DAD has also been used to capture data on day surgery procedures, long-term care, rehabilitation and other types of care. Hospitals in Manitoba started submitting their records to DAD from April 1, 2004. Throughout the fiscal years that are covered in the linkage, there were openings, closure and mergers of institutions.

In the DAD, jurisdiction-specific instructions for collection of data elements evolve over time. Collection of each data element may be mandatory, mandatory if applicable, optional or not applicable. Collection requirements can vary by jurisdiction and by data year.

Researchers will find the listings of DAD data elements under the heading "Data Elements" at the DAD Metadata website. Please note that not all DAD data elements are included in the RDC DAD datasets for this linkage project. A list of available DAD variables is contained in user guide for the linked dataset. The documents on the website include information on mandatory versus optional collection status for each data element by jurisdiction, which is key to understanding coverage of data elements in the DAD.

For this record linkage, DAD records that linked to LAD cohort members from fiscal years 1997/98 through 2016/17 were included.

File structure, layout

All variables from the LAD are available for analysis. Please see appropriate data dictionaries, available from your RDC analyst.

The DAD is an event based file, meaning that there will be more than one record for a person who was hospitalized more than once in the same fiscal year. During the linkage process, all DAD records belonging to the same LAD cohort member were identified using their LIN__I. Researchers can then choose to use the DAD file as an event based file (each row of data represents a hospitalization) or a person based file (each row of data represents an individual).

In order to use the file as a person based file, the researcher must transform the data to include all hospital information for one person as one record (one row on the data file).

These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS , are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.
