Statement 3(I,II)

1. Introduction

The Air Passenger Origin and Destination (POD) Survey is conducted continuously by all Canadian air carriers assigned to reporting Level I and Level II¹ that, in each of the two years immediately preceding the reporting year, enplaned 600,000 or more scheduled revenue passengers using fixed wing aircraft. The Aviation Statistics Centre (ASC) of Statistics Canada collects the data under the authority of the Statistics Act – RSC 1985, Chapter S19 and the Canada Transportation Act, Section 50, for the statistical purposes of both Statistics Canada and Transport Canada.

The POD Survey covers revenue passenger trips made in whole or in part on domestic and/or international scheduled flights. Carriers must report such trips if (i) they operated one or more segments of the itineraries and (ii) no other carrier participating in the survey operated any preceding segments. Reporting is based on information obtained from lifted flight coupons (or their electronic equivalent). The complete ticket itinerary is recorded as one entry for each trip showing the routing from the initial origin to the final ticket destination and including, in sequence, each point of intraline or interline transfer, the carrier (both operating and advertised for code share segments) and the fare basis code on each flight coupon stage as well as the total value of the ticket in Canadian dollars. Carriers reporting a 10% sample of their itineraries are to report only tickets with numbers ending in zero.

This document details the requirements of the POD Survey as well as the instructions on how the data are to be reported.

2. The Survey Universe

The POD Survey universe includes all revenue passenger trips moving in whole or in part on domestic and/or international scheduled flights operated by participating air carriers. All electronic tickets from all scheduled flights of the reporting carrier must be examined to identify any tickets that meet the survey selection requirements. The POD Survey must not be limited to the tickets that the reporting carrier issues. The survey must include all tickets in which the carrier transported a passenger. The electronic ticket sale record can be the source of the data to be examined. The passenger ticket itinerary information to be reported in the POD Survey can be recorded from the first ticket coupon. There is no requirement to wait until a trip has been completed to report the ticket itinerary information. Coupons from a conjunction2 ticket set shall be considered as a single itinerary under the ticket number of the primary (first) ticket of the conjunction set.

It is recognized that many airlines do not record the entire itinerary from tickets issued by other airlines for revenue accounting purposes. However, the reporting carrier is required to obtain the complete itinerary data for tickets issued by other airlines in order to determine if the ticket meets the selection requirements for inclusion in the survey.

2.1 Honoured Tickets

There are instances where a reporting carrier may honour the ticket of another carrier (non code-share partner) and transport the passenger without re-issuing the ticket. In these cases, the reporting carrier should treat the ticket as if it had actually been re-issued and report it accordingly. This includes changing the air carrier code of the ticketing carrier from the one on the ticket to the carrier that honoured the ticket.

3. Sample Selection and Reporting Criteria

3.1 Use of 10 percent sample

Where the POD Survey data represent a 10% sample of tickets in which a participating carrier transported the passenger(s) on at least one segment of the ticketed journey, each participating airline must examine all electronic tickets, including Automated Ticket and Baggage (ATB) tickets for passengers on all of the carrier's scheduled flights throughout its system. This requirement applies to tickets issued by the reporting airline as well as tickets issued by other airlines.

Tickets to be retained for further sampling consideration are:

1. Group-tickets with 11 or more passengers regardless of the ticket serial number.
2. Single-passenger tickets with serial numbers ending in the digit zero (not the check digit). For conjunction tickets, the serial number for the first group of tickets determines the reportability of the entire conjunction set.
3. Group tickets with 10 or less passengers with serial numbers ending in the digit zero (not the check digit).

3.2 Use of 100 percent sample

In order to improve sample accuracy or to prevent distortions, the Aviation Statistics Centre may require a carrier to employ a 100 percent sample.

In certain markets or in special situations (e.g. on-board sales on shuttle services), a carrier may elect to use a 100 percent sample. In such cases, prior approval for use of this option must be obtained from the Aviation Statistics Centre. Similarly, if this option has been adopted, it may not be discontinued without prior approval by the Aviation Statistics Centre.

4. Conversion of Ticket Itinerary to the Required Dual-Carrier Format

The Aviation Statistics Centre requires that passenger itineraries be reported with the operating and the advertised carrier identified on each trip segment. The reporting carrier must identify the advertised carrier and record it in the advertised carrier field for each segment.

Each reporting air carrier must also identify itself as the operating carrier (in the operating carrier field) on each segment of the itinerary on which it has or will transport the passenger(s).

The reporting air carrier must also identify the operating carrier on each flight segment on which it is the advertised carrier. However, the reporting carrier is not responsible for reporting the operating carrier of a code share flight in the reported itinerary if the reporting carrier is not in a code sharing relationship with the advertised carrier for that flight.

5. Identification of Reporting Carrier

The first operating participating carrier³ in a trip is responsible for reporting to the survey since it is the one most likely to have the information necessary for reporting.

6. Information to be Reported to the Air Passenger Origin and Destination Survey

The following items are to be reported for each ticket selected for the POD Survey (see Appendix B for the actual record layout). Note that conjunction tickets and re-issued tickets do not require special treatment and are to be treated the same as regular tickets. No adjustment is made in the survey for alterations or changes in itinerary which take place subsequent to the trip segment covered by electronic ticket.

6.1 Number of Passengers

This is the number of passengers listed for the ticket. For tickets covering 1 to 10 passengers, include the actual number of passengers. A half-fare passenger, such as a child, is to be counted as one passenger. A fractional-fare passenger, such as in a family plan, is also to be counted as one passenger. Tickets for infants under two years of age and not occupying a seat are not to be counted. Passengers flying on "frequent flyer" redemptions are counted as passengers⁴. If a reporting air carrier, using the 10% sample method, issued tickets covering more than 10 passengers, the passenger counts associated with these tickets are to be divided by 10 and then rounded to the nearest whole passenger. (Carriers reporting a 10% sample may contact the Aviation Statistics Centre regarding possible alternate approaches to reporting tickets for more than 10 passengers.)

6.2 Carrier – Routing Detail

The data reported for each passenger trip should show the complete routing, from the origin airport to the destination airport, including each airport where the passenger made a connection or a stopover (intraline or interline). Helicopter and air taxi portions of itineraries are to be retained and recorded. Where surface transportation is indicated in an itinerary, use the code "--" (dash dash). Omit any surface portions, which appear at the beginning or end of an itinerary.

In addition, for each segment in the itinerary, the reporting airline must report the advertised carrier (the carrier whose code and flight number appear on the face of the coupon or in the ticket itinerary) and the operating carrier (the airline that actually provided the transportation) if it is a partner to the reporting airline in a code-share relationship on that segment. For segments not flown by the reporting airline or one of its code-share partners and not advertised on the reporting airline or one of its code-share partners, the operating carrier should be the same as the advertised carrier. If a carrier is not known, use the code "UK" (unknown).

The specific reportable data elements representing carrier-routing detail are as follows:

1. IATA Location code for the airport of origin of the segment. This is the airport at which the passenger boarded the flight.
2. IATA Carrier code for the operating airline, or the airline providing the transportation. If the reporting airline or an airline honouring the reporting airline's coupon is transporting the passenger, insert that airline's code in the operating carrier field for the coupon. If the reporting airline or one of its code-share partners is not the operating airline, use the code of the advertised airline in the operating carrier field.
3. IATA Carrier code for the advertised airline, or the airline appearing on the flight coupon. Note that this is not necessarily the airline issuing the ticket.
4. Fare basis code. This refers to the one-character fare basis code originating with the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT). Air carrier fare basis codes are to be converted to these codes (see Appendix E for a list of the codes).
5. IATA Location code for the airport of destination of the segment. This is the second airport of the coupon and represents the trip termination, a point of intraline or interline connection, a stopover, or a change-of-gauge.

6.3 Total Value of the Ticket (including taxes) in Canadian Dollars

This is the total dollar value listed for the ticket. The amount is to be reported in Canadian dollars.

Reporting carriers using the 10 % sample method should divide the total value of the ticket by the number of passengers reported if the number of passengers on the ticket is between 2 and 10. If the number of passengers on the ticket was more than 10, divide the total value of the ticket by the original number of passengers on the ticket (not the number of passengers resulting from the previous instruction to divide by 10).

All carriers are responsible for reporting total ticket value for bulk fare tickets or inclusive tour tickets sold either directly to passengers or through tour operators. Where such tickets contain no fare information, the reporting carrier must report the value of the ticket that the reporting airline received from the tour operator. This can be derived by dividing the monthly contract revenue received by the airline from the tour operator for a city-pair by the number of passengers who travelled in the city-pair using tickets covered by the contract.

Only if the total ticket value cannot be determined from the ticket or calculated from bulk fare contracts may the reporting airline use 99999 in the fare field.

7. Aggregating Recorded Data

Prior to the submission of each quarterly report to the Aviation Statistics Centre, the reporting carrier is required to sort the recorded entries into alphabetic sequence by itinerary, i.e. by ticket origin, complete routing (including the fare code) and ticket destination. All identical entries are then to be combined into one summary record each quarter.

The number of passengers on the summary records is to be the sum of the passenger amounts of all the individual identical records combined. Fare amounts are also to be summed accordingly.

8. Sources of Data for Reporting

Airlines that are required to participate in the POD Survey must use all possible sources of information needed to report complete and accurate itinerary data.

If an electronic ticket does not contain all the information needed to help the reporting airline to report the required POD Survey data then the airline must obtain the information from additional sources. If the reporting airline also issued the ticket, then the airline may need to examine its ticket sales data or its Transaction Control Number (TCN) records to assist it in reporting the entire itinerary, operating carriers and airport codes in an accurate manner.

If an electronic ticket is part of a ticket issued by another airline then the reporting carrier is responsible for obtaining all of the itinerary information that it needs from the issuing carrier. If the ticket is issued by a code-share partner of the reporting carrier or by another air carrier that belongs to a marketing alliance that includes a Canadian air carrier, then the reporting carrier must obtain all information from the issuing carrier that will help it to report the entire itinerary, in the applicable quarter.

9. Statement of Procedures

Each airline that participates in the POD Survey is required to prepare and send to the Aviation Statistics Centre a statement of the procedures the airline uses to select, record, summarize, edit and report the survey data. The Aviation Statistics Centre must approve changes made to POD Survey processing prior to their implementation. The Statement of Procedures should provide enough detail for the Aviation Statistics Centre to understand the carrier's flow of processing of tickets, the selection and reporting decisions, methods used to identify the operating carrier, editing and management responsibility and supervision.

10. Submission of Reports

Reports are to be filed with the Aviation Statistics Centre for each quarter of the year, within thirty (30) days after the end of each quarter. The data should be created in text file format and submitted via Statistics Canada's E-File Transfer Service.

10.1 Reporting by E-File Transfer

Statistics Canada has an e-File Transfer Service (e-FT) in place, which enables organizations outside of Statistics Canada to exchange electronic files in a secure manner using the internet.

If POD Survey data are provided by e-File transfer, please refer to the attached separate document titled "Statistics Canada's e-File Transfer Service: External User Guide" for detailed user instructions.

Carriers should contact the Aviation Statistics Centre when choosing to use the e-File Transfer service so that appropriate user accounts and permissions may be established.

Individual file password(s) should be communicated directly to the manager of the Air Passenger Origin and Destination Survey.

11. Record Retention

Participating airlines are required to retain all passenger ticket itinerary information used to prepare the POD Survey reports for three years. Records should be retained to enable the airline to reconstruct the POD Survey reports for the latest three years (twelve quarters). The method of storage and retrieval of stored records must be identified in the carrier's Statement of Procedures.

Appendix C: Glossary of Terms

Selected terms used in these instructions are defined and explained in the glossary in the context applicable to these instructions only. They are not intended to be general definitions for use beyond the confines of this passenger survey.

Carrier

• Advertised Carrier: The airline whose code and flight number appear on the flight coupon or in the ticket itinerary.
• Carrier: Any scheduled air carrier, Canadian or foreign, that appears on a coupon stage in a ticket itinerary, including helicopter and taxi carriers.
• Operating Carrier: The air carrier that actually operated the advertised flight. The operating carrier may advertise its own flight while allowing another airline to advertise the same flight. In some situations, the code-share operator does not advertise service under its own name and only operates flights for the airline advertising the service.
• Participating Carrier: An air carrier that is governed by the survey data collection and reporting instructions contained herein and which is required to file POD reports with the Aviation Statistics Centre.
• Reporting Carrier: The air carrier in a given itinerary, which has identified the reportable flight coupon and recorded the itinerary for inclusion in the data submission to the Air Passenger Origin and Destination Survey.

Carrier Reporting Level (2010 definitions):

• Level I: Every Canadian air carrier that, in the calendar year immediately preceding the reporting year, transported at least 2 million revenue passengers or at least 400 thousand tonnes of cargo.
• Level II: Every Canadian air carrier that, in the calendar year immediately preceding the reporting year, transported at least 100 thousand, but fewer than 2 million revenue passengers, or at least 50 thousand but less than 400 thousand tonnes of cargo.
• Level III: Every Canadian air carrier not classified in reporting level I or II that, in the calendar year immediately preceding the reporting year, realized gross revenues of at least 2 million dollars for the provision of air services for which the air carrier held a license.
• Level IV: Every Canadian air carrier not classified in reporting level I, II or III that, in the calendar year immediately preceding the reporting year, realized gross revenues of less than 2 million dollars for the provision of air services for which the air carrier held a license.

Change of Gauge: The planned change from one aircraft to another or from an aircraft of one size to that of another size within the itinerary of a single flight number. For example, a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles may operate from Sydney to Auckland with a B767 and from Auckland to Los Angeles with a B747. For the purposes of POD Survey reporting, a passenger with a SYD-LAX coupon should be reported as SYD-AKL-LAX such that the point of change of gauge is inserted in the reported itinerary.

Connection:

• Interline Connection: A passenger's transfer from a flight operated by one airline to a flight operated by another airline, with or without a stopover, at an intermediate point in an itinerary.
• Intraline Connection: A passenger's transfer from one flight to another flight at an intermediate point in an itinerary, where the same air carrier operates both flights.

Itinerary: All points in the passenger journey, beginning with the origin, followed by the routing, and ending with the destination, in the sequence shown on the ticket.

Lifted Flight Coupon (or Electronic Equivalent): A passenger ticket coupon, good for travel on a single flight that has been either removed by the transporting airline at the time of passenger boarding or surrendered by the passenger in exchange for a boarding pass. The electronic equivalent would be any evidence of passenger travel on a flight that is part of a ticket itinerary.

Point:

• Intermediate Point: Any point in an itinerary, other than the origin or destination, at which the passenger makes an interline or intraline connection.
• Point: A city or airport (including heliports).

Revenue Passenger: A person for whose transportation an air carrier receives commercial remuneration. This definition includes, for example, (i) passengers travelling under publicly available promotional offers ("two-for-one") or loyalty programs ("frequent flyers"); (ii) passengers travelling as compensation for denied boarding; (iii) passengers travelling at corporate discounts ; (iv) passengers travelling on preferential fares (government, seamen, military, youth, student). This definition excludes, for example, (i) persons travelling free; (ii) persons travelling at a fare or discount available only to employees of air carriers or their agents; (iii) employees of an air carrier travelling on the business of the carrier; (iv) infants who do not occupy a seat.

Routing: The carrier on each flight coupon stage in an itinerary and the intermediate points of connection (interline and intraline), in the sequence of occurrence, in the movement of the passengers from origin to destination.

Scheduled Service: The operation of a flight on a regular basis according to a published timetable and available to the public on short notice.

Surface Segment: Ground transportation (bus, rail, boat) that is included as part of a ticketed air itinerary and in the total value of the ticket.

Ticket:

• Conjunction Ticket: Two or more tickets concurrently issued to a passenger which, in total, constitute a single travel document for a single ticket itinerary.
• Electronic Ticket: A computer record of a ticketed passenger itinerary and fare.
• Group‑Fare Ticket: A single ticket valid for the transportation of two or more revenue passengers over the same itinerary.
• Reissued Ticket: A ticket issued in exchange for all or part of the unused portion of a previously issued ticket.
• Single‑Passenger Ticket: A passenger ticket valid for transportation of only one revenue passenger over a given itinerary.

Ticket Destination: The last point in the itinerary and the last point at which the passenger is to deplane at the completion of the journey. (In round‑trip itineraries, the ticket destination and the ticket origin are the same.)

Ticket Number: The sequential number on a ticket, consisting of a three-digit carrier number and a ten-digit document number. The check digit is excluded. For the purposes of identifying zero-ending tickets for inclusion in the sample for the POD Survey, it is the tenth digit of the document number that is to be considered. The ticket number is also known as the document control number or form and serial number.

Ticket Origin: The first point in the itinerary and the point where the passenger first boards an air carrier.

Appendix D: Summary of Sample Selection Logic

Step 1: Tickets issued by reporting airline or other airlines

Step 2: Is the ticket for a group of 11+ passengers?

• If Yes, go to Step 4
• If No, go to Step 3

Step 3: Does the ticket number end in zero?

• If Yes, go to Step 4
• If No, do not report ticket to POD Survey

Step 4: If this is a conjunction ticket, is this the first booklet?

• If Yes, go to step 5
• If No, do not report ticket to POD Survey

Step 5: Was the ticket first used during the quarter being processed?

• If Yes, go to Step 6
• If No, do not report ticket to POD Survey

Step 6:

• Determine operating carrier for all trip segments on which reporting carrier or its affiliate was or will transport the passenger.
• Convert the fare basis code on each coupon to one of the U.S. DOT\Statistics Canada POD Survey fare basis reporting codes.
• Is reporting carrier the first operating carrier in the ticket itinerary?
• If Yes, go to Step 7
• If No, do not report ticket to POD Survey

Step 7: Report entire ticketed itinerary to POD Survey

Appendix E: United States Department of Transportation / Statistics Canada Air Passenger Origin and Destination Survey Codes for Reporting Fare Basis Information in the Itinerary Record

Seven single-character codes, created by the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Office of Airline Information, are to be used for reporting fare basis information in the POD Survey. These codes are designed to provide identification for unrestricted (full) and restricted (discount) fares in first class, business class and coach class categories including a code for an unknown fare basis. The POD Survey fare basis reporting codes are:

• F - Unrestricted First Class
• G - Restricted First Class
• C - Unrestricted Business Class
• D - Restricted Business Class
• Y - Unrestricted Coach/Economy Class
• X - Restricted Coach/Economy Class
• U - Unknown (This fare category is used when a fare basis code is not shown on a ticket coupon, or when you cannot read the fare basis code, or when two or more carrier fare codes are compressed into a single coupon.)

"Unrestricted" includes all fares not subject to restrictions other than time of day, such as night and off-peak fares. These categories include all "full" or "premium" fares (F, C, P, W, Y, J, R), plus all otherwise unrestricted off-peak fares (FN, YN, CN, and KN) and the "economy" (K) fares.

"Restricted" includes any fare subject to significant restrictions, such as, advanced purchase requirements, minimum or maximum stay, refund penalty, membership in a particular group (military, youth, clergy), tour package and similar characteristics.

 Statement outlining results, risks and significant changes in operations, personnel and program

A) Introduction

Statistics Canada's mandate

Statistics Canada (“the agency”) is a member of the Innovation, Science and Economic Development portfolio.

Statistics Canada's role is to ensure that Canadians have access to a trusted source of statistics on Canada that meets their highest priority needs.

The agency's mandate derives primarily from the Statistics Act. The Act requires that the agency collects, compiles, analyzes and publishes statistical information on the economic, social, and general conditions of the country and its people. It also requires that Statistics Canada conduct the census of population and the census of agriculture every fifth year, and protects the confidentiality of the information with which it is entrusted.

Statistics Canada also has a mandate to co-ordinate and lead the national statistical system. The agency is considered a leader, among statistical agencies around the world, in co‑ordinating statistical activities to reduce duplication and reporting burden.

More information on Statistics Canada's mandate, roles, responsibilities and programs can be found in the 2017–2018 Main Estimates and in the Statistics Canada 2017–2018 Departmental Plan.

The quarterly financial report:

• should be read in conjunction with the 2017–2018 Main Estimates;
• has been prepared by management, as required by Section 65.1 of the Financial Administration Act, and in the form and manner prescribed by Treasury Board;
• has not been subject to an external audit or review.

Statistics Canada has the authority to collect and spend revenue from other federal government departments and agencies, as well as from external clients, for statistical services and products.

Basis of presentation

This quarterly report has been prepared by management using an expenditure basis of accounting. The accompanying Statement of Authorities includes the agency's spending authorities granted by Parliament and those used by the agency consistent with the Main Estimates for the 2017–2018 fiscal year. This quarterly report has been prepared using a special purpose financial reporting framework designed to meet financial information needs with respect to the use of spending authorities.

The authority of Parliament is required before moneys can be spent by the Government. Approvals are given in the form of annually approved limits through appropriation acts or through legislation in the form of statutory spending authority for specific purposes.

The agency uses the full accrual method of accounting to prepare and present its annual departmental financial statements that are part of the departmental results reporting process. However, the spending authorities voted by Parliament remain on an expenditure basis.

B) Highlights of fiscal quarter and fiscal year-to-date results

This section highlights the significant items that contributed to the net decrease in resources available for the year, as well as actual expenditures for the quarter ended June 30.

Description for Chart 1: Comparison of gross budgetary authorities and expenditures as of June 30, 2016, and June 30, 2017, in thousands of dollars

This bar graph shows Statistics Canada's budgetary authorities and expenditures, in thousands of dollars, as of June 30, 2016 and 2017:

• As at June 30, 2016
  • Net budgetary authorities: $751,491
  • Vote netting authority: $120,000
  • Total authority: $871,491
  • Net expenditures for the period ending June 30: $238,410
  • Year-to-date revenues spent from vote netting authority for the period ending June 30: $12,573
  • Total expenditures: $250,983
• As at June 30, 2017
  • Net budgetary authorities: $471,064
  • Vote netting authority: $120,000
  • Total authority: $591,064
  • Net expenditures for the period ending June 30: $122,197
  • Year-to-date revenues spent from vote netting authority for the period ending June 30: $17,218
  • Total expenditures: $139,415

Chart 1 outlines the gross budgetary authorities, which represent the resources available for use for the year as of June 30.

Significant changes to authorities

Total authorities available for 2017–2018 have decreased by $280.4 million, or 32.2%, from the previous year, from $871.5 million to $591.1 million (Chart 1). This net decrease was mostly the result of the following:

• Decrease for the Census of Population program ($310.0 million), as well as for the Census of Agriculture program ($12.1 million) due to the cyclical nature of funding winding down in 2017–2018;
• Increase for the Statistical Survey Operations pay equity settlement ($32.4 million).

In addition to the appropriations allocated to the agency through the Main Estimates, Statistics Canada also has vote net authority within Vote 1, which entitles the agency to spend revenues collected from other federal government departments, agencies, and external clients to provide statistical services. Vote netting authority is stable at $120 million in each of the fiscal years 2016–2017 and 2017–2018.

Significant changes to expenditures

Year-to-date net expenditures recorded to the end of the first quarter decreased by $116.2 million, or 48.7% from the previous year, from $238.4 million to $122.2 million (See Table A: Variation in Departmental Expenditures by Standard Object).

Most of the decrease in spending is due to the 2016 Census of Population program. Statistics Canada spent approximately 26% of its authorities by the end of the first quarter, compared with 32% in the same quarter of 2016–2017.

Total gross budgetary expenditures	-111,568	-44.5
Less revenues netted against expenditures
Revenues	4,646	37.0
Total net budgetary expenditures	-116,214	-48.7

The 2016 Census of Population reached the peak of its cyclical expenditures in 2016–2017, spending in 2017–2018 drops sharply as activities wound down.

01) Personnel: The decrease is mainly due to the public servants whom were hired in 2016–2017 to conduct census-related activities.

02) Transportation and Communications: The decrease is mainly due to reduced costs in postage and travel in 2016–2017 for census related activities.

03) Information: The decrease is mainly due to the printing of census material and the implementation of the census media plan in 2016–2017.

04) Professional and special services: The decrease is mainly due to the end of census collection and processing activities, which employed approximately 35,000 temporary staff in 2016–2017.

09) Acquisition of machinery and equipment: The increase is due to the purchase of new software licenses.

Revenues: The increase is primarily the result of timing differences in the receipt of funds for scheduled key deliverables.

C) Risks and uncertainties

Statistics Canada uses a risk-based decision-making process to conduct its business. In order to do so effectively, the agency identifies key corporate risks and develops corresponding mitigation strategies within its Corporate Risk Profile on an annual basis. At this point in time, none of the agency's key corporate risks involve significant financial risks.

D) Significant changes to operations, personnel and programs

In 2017–2018, Statistics Canada will continue the processing and analysis of Census program data, and dissemination of the remaining major 2016 census data releases. This year, six releases are planned. For the Census of Population, one release took place in May and the others are scheduled in August, September, October and November 2017. Regarding the Census of Agriculture, the release took place in May.

This contrasts with last year, when Statistics Canada focused on data collection and processing activities of the 2016 Census program.

I. Introduction

Description

The Tuition and Living Accommodation Costs (TLAC) survey collects data for full-time students at Canadian degree-granting institutions that are publicly funded. The survey was developed to provide an overview of tuition and additional compulsory fees, and living accommodation costs that students can expect to pay for an academic year.

TLAC survey data:

• provides stakeholders, the public and students with annual tuition costs and changes in tuition fees from the previous year
• contributes to a better understanding of the student financial position for that level of costs to obtain a degree;
• contributes to education policy development
• contributes to the Consumer Price Index;
• facilitates interprovincial comparisons;
• facilitates comparisons between institutions.

Reference period

2017-2018 academic year.

Population

The target population is all publicly funded degree-granting institutions (universities and colleges) in Canada.

The survey target population includes institutions that have degree-granting status for the academic year 2017-2018. Institutions that do not have degree-granting status are excluded even if they provide portions of programs that lead to a degree granted by another institution. The survey is limited to institutions whose operations are primarily funded by provincial governments. Institutions that do not receive grants from Education ministries or departments and institutions that receive grants only from Health ministries and departments are excluded.

Field of study

The field of study classification for both undergraduate and graduate programs are adapted from the 2011 Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP), Statistics Canada's standard for field of study classification. The CIP's structure comprises several groupings developed jointly by Statistics Canada and the National Center for Education Statistics in the USA. It is based on work undertaken as part of the creation of the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) by Canada, the United States and Mexico.

TLAC CIP groupings for Undergraduate programs:

• Education
• Visual and Performing Arts, and Communications Technologies
• Humanities
• Social and Behavioural Sciences, and Legal Studies
• Law
• Business, Management and Public Administration
• Physical and Life Sciences and Technologies
• Mathematics, Computer and Information Sciences
• Engineering
• Architecture and Related Technologies
• Agriculture, Natural Resources and Conservation
• Dentistry
• Medicine
• Nursing
• Pharmacy
• Veterinary Medicine
• Health (other than Medicine), Parks, Recreation and Fitness
• Personal, Protective and Transportation Services
• Other

TLAC CIP groupings for Graduate programs:

Includes all of the undergraduate program groupings with the exception of Medicine and the addition of:

• Executive MBA
• Regular MBA

Refer to Appendix A: TLAC CIP

Note: Dental, Medical and Veterinary Residency Programs offered in teaching hospitals and similar locations that may lead to advanced professional certification are excluded.

Submission Date

The completed questionnaire must be returned by June 9, 2017 by uploading the file back in the Secure Internet Site (E-File transfer Service). For the ‘Authorization to release data’ waiver, (page 7 of the document) please sign and scan the document and return it by email or via your EFT account.

If you require further information please contact: statcan.education-education.statcan@statcan.gc.ca

II. Instructions

General

Whenever possible, final fees and living accommodation costs should be reported. If they have not yet been determined, report an estimate and check the box on the questionnaire to state that these are estimated fees for 2017-2018.

Tables produced and disseminated by Statistics Canada reflect an academic year (8 months) for full-time students with a full course load in degree programs.

Part A: Tuition fees for full-time students

How to Report Tuition Fees:

1. Verify and update the previous year data (2016/2017) on each page if required.
2. NEW: Undergraduate Law page 2, only professional designations for Law (LLB, JD, BCL), from a Faculty of Law should be reported in this grouping.
3. NEW: Graduate Law page 3, only professional Law degrees from a Faculty of Law (post-LLB/JD), should be reported in this grouping.
4. NEW: page 2 and page 3, Tuition for legal studies degree programs (non-professional law degrees) should be reported under “Social and Behavioural Sciences, and Legal Studies”. See Appendix A.
5. Update: Personal, Protective and Transportation Services includes:
   43.0103 Criminal justice / law enforcement administration
   43.0104 Criminal justice / safety studies
   43.0106 Forensic science and technology
   43.0107 Criminal justice / police science
   
   See Appendix A
6. When reporting “Tuition fees for full-time students” in part A, report the cost of tuition for degrees granted by your institution meaning that students start and complete their degree at your institution.  DO NOT include certificates, associate degrees and diplomas.
7. Report additional compulsory fees for materials or equipment on pages 4 (undergraduate) and 5 (graduate).
8. NEW degree programs must be specified in the Comments section at the bottom of page 2 (undergraduate) and page 3 (graduate).
9. Quebec and Nova-Scotia:  Lower fees represent Canadian students that have a permanent address in the province (in-province students) and the Upper fees represent Canadian students with an out-of-province permanent address.
10. Report fees with decimals, NO commas.  Example $2415.45
11. Academic year (8 months):  Where tuition is reported based on the academic  year (8 months), report the full cost of the program regardless of the number of credits.
12. Semester:  If reporting by semester, report the full cost of the
    semester regardless of the number of credits. Semester fees will be multiplied
    by two to calculate tuition for the academic year (8 months).
13. Per Credit:  If reporting per credit, tuition will be multiplied by 30 credits. We
    assume 30 credits for an academic year to calculate academic year fees.
14. The TLAC CIP groupings (fields of study) for which we collect are straight forward with a few exceptions.

    The following degree programs should be reported as:

    45.0702 Geomatics BA/BSc, Geographic Information Systems/Science (GIS) must be reported under Social and Behavioural Sciences

    31.0505 Kinesiology must be reported under Other Health, Parks,Recreation and Fitness program

    31.0501 Health and Physical Education must be reported under Other Health, Parks, Recreation and Fitness program

    03.0103 Environmental Studies must be reported under Agriculture, Natural Resources and Conservation program.

    03.0104 Environmental Sciences must be reported under Agriculture, Natural Resources and Conservation program.

15. Medicine (MD) program should be reported under undergraduate Medicine
                (page 2 of the questionnaire).   See Appendix A
16. 'Physical and Life Sciences and Technologies' includes programs such as:
    Genetics (MSc (Med), PhD, MD-PhD) code 26.08)
    Immunology and Infectious Diseases (MSc (Med), PhD, MD-PhD)
    code 26.05
    Neurosciences (MSc (Med), PhD, MD-PhD) code 30.24
    
    See Appendix
17. Other Health, Parks, Recreation and Fitness includes programs such as:
    Public Health (MPH) code 51.22
    Kinesiology and Exercise Science 31.0505
    Medical Scientist (MSc, PhD) 51.14
    
    See Appendix A

Part B: Additional Compulsory fees for full-time Canadian Students

1) In part B of the questionnaire report additional compulsory fees for full-time Canadian students in the first row of the table where these fees do not vary according to their field of study for all full-time undergraduate students (page 4) and graduate students (page 5)

Important note: “Partial” compulsory fees such as Health Plan and Dental Plan fees that students can opt out of with proof of comparable coverage should not be included in the compulsory fees. Please include this information in the comments section.

2) We have eliminated the section ‘additional compulsory fee by program’ on page 4 (undergraduate) and page 5 (graduate). We removed this section because the data were not always consistent or complete.

Part C: Living accommodation costs for residences/housing

If it is not possible to separate the room and the meal plan costs for single students only, a total should be reported.

III. Definitions

Tuition Fees

Tuition that is charged to a full-time student with a full course load for an academic year (8 months).

Additional Compulsory fees

Additional compulsory fees collected by the TLAC survey are those that all students must pay regardless of the field of study (TLAC CIP grouping).

They include general fees (admission, registration, examination,, internship, etc.), technology fees, student services fees, student association fees, contributions to student activities, copyright fees, premiums for compulsory insurance plans, fees for athletics and recreational activities, and various other fees (transcript, degree, laboratory, uniform, etc.)

These fees are those that all students within each applicable program grouping must pay. One example of a compulsory fee that does not apply to every student is Laboratory Fees that are charged for classes with labs which is the cost of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student.  This fee should be reported under ‘Other’.

Excluded are ‘partial’ compulsory fees such as Health Plan and Dental Plan fees that can be opted out by a student if proof of comparable coverage is presented.

Athletics fees   

Mandatory fees to support intercollegiate athletics covering athletics facilities, and campus recreation (intramurals, fitness and recreation courses, etc.)

Health Services fees

Mandatory fees to support the on-campus clinic facilities which provide the services of doctors and nurses.

Reminder:  “Partial” compulsory fees such as Health Plan and Dental Plan fees that can be opted out by a student if proof of comparable coverage is presented should not be included in the compulsory fees but only indicated in the comments section.

Student Association fees

Mandatory fees supporting the general operating expenses of the association.

Other fees (Part B)

If compulsory fees are reported in "Other please specify” you must provide further details on the types of fees reported. Also, please indicate if the compulsory fee is determined by the institution's administration (e.g., a department of the institution such as the finance department or others) or by other groups independent of the institution (e.g., a group that is not influenced or directed by the university administration).

IV. Suggestions

Suggestions for improvements to the survey are welcome.
