How to read the concordance table: NAICS 2017 Version 3.0 - ISIC Rev. 4

The concordance of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Canada 2017 Version 3.0 to the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities Revision 4 (ISIC Rev. 4) is shown in the table below. The table shows the Canadian interpretation of the relationships between the two classifications.

The concordance is shown at the lowest level of both classifications, namely at the 6-digit level in NAICS and the 4-digit level in ISIC except in the three cases where the link is to a 3-digit ISIC code, where more precise links to ISIC are not possible.

The relationships between the two classifications can be simple or complex. The following examples are presented to illustrate how the table should be read.

In the first example, a NAICS class links exactly to one ISIC class, their coverage of activities being the same. All of the activities in NAICS 212210 are found in ISIC B0710.

NAICS Canada 2017 Version 3.0 ISIC Rev. 4
212210 Iron ore mining B0710 Mining of iron ores

In the second example, each NAICS class links to a portion of the same ISIC. Each of NAICS 311340, 311351 and 311352 is a subset of ISIC C1073. The last column contains explanatory notes.

An asterisk attached to the ISIC alpha-numeric code indicates that a NAICS class is equal to a portion of an ISIC class. The explanatory note provides a short description of the nature of the overlap between the NAICS and ISIC classes.

NAICS Canada 2017 Version 3.0 ISIC Rev. 4 Explanatory notes
311340 Non-chocolate confectionery manufacturing C1073 * Manufacture of cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery Manufacturing of non-chocolate confectionery (e.g., lozenges, chewing gum)

311352 Confectionery manufacturing from purchased chocolate C1073 * Manufacture of cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery Confectionery, manufactured from purchased chocolate

In the third example, a NAICS class is equivalent to more than one ISIC class. NAICS 115210 is equal to ISIC A0162 plus a portion of ISIC M7500. The last column contains explanatory notes.

Canadian Vital Death Statistics Database (CVSD) linked to Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS)

Canadian Vital Statistics Deaths Database (2008-2014) linked to Discharge Abstract Database (2004/05-2014/15), National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (2004/05-2014/15)

The objective of this project was to create a linked dataset that can be used to examine a national cohort (except Quebec) of persons who died (for any age group of interest) in relation to the characteristics and intensity of end-of-life care and to identify patient, disease and healthcare factors associated with variations in care intensity and location of death.

To achieve this objective, death records in the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database (CVSD) from 2008 to 2014 were linked to patient records in the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) and the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) from 2004/2005 to 2014/2015. Statistics Canada does not have Quebec hospitalization data as part of its data holdings and thus hospitalizations that occurred in the province of Quebec are not included in the linked datasets.

The Data

Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database (CVSD)

The Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database (CVSD) is a census of all deaths occurring in Canada each year. Deaths are reported by the provincial and territorial Vital Statistics Registries to Statistics Canada; the information provided includes demographic and cause of death information. Cause of death information is coded using the version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) in effect at the time of death. Records eligible for record linkage were deaths that occurred from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2014.

In addition to the variables from the CVSD, the file includes variables from the Postal Code Conversion File+ (PCCF+) for each linked record. The PCCF+ was generated using the CVSD variable DEA_Q150 (usual residence of the deceased: postal code).

Discharge Abstract Database

The DAD includes administrative, clinical and demographic information on hospital discharges (including in-hospital deaths, sign-outs and transfers) from all provinces and territories, except Quebec. Over time, the DAD has also been used to capture data on day surgery, long-term care, rehabilitation and other types of care. DAD data for fiscal years 2004/2005 to 2014/2015 were included in the linkage.

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. 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.

National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS)

The NACRS contains data for hospital-based and community-based ambulatory care including day surgery, outpatient and community-based clinics, and emergency departments. Client visit data is collected at time of service in participating facilities from several jurisdictions. NACRS data for fiscal years 2004/2005 to 2014/2015 were included in the linkage.

For details on the provincial data coverage, please refer to the Data Quality Documentation, available under the "Data Quality" section of the NACRS Metadata website.

In NACRS, jurisdiction-specific instructions for collection of data elements evolve over time. Similar to DAD, 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 NACRS data elements under the "Data Elements" section of the NACRS Metadata website. 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 NACRS.

File structure & layout

A single cohort file was produced of all the individual CVSD records between 2008 through 2014, including those that linked and those that did not link to the DAD or NACRS. A random, unique identifier (variable name: STC_ID) was generated for each record on the CVSD. Each record with a valid postal code has additional information added from the PCCF+. Names and other personal identifiers have been removed from the file.

Separate output files were created for each year of the DAD and for each year of the NACRS. Only records that linked to the CVSD are included in these outcome files. Since the DAD and NACRS are transactional files, the STC_ID from the CVSD cohort file was included on all records to identify those individuals with multiple transactions within a dataset and across datasets. Merging the STC_ID across datasets (i.e. CVSD to DAD and NACRS) will allow the larger picture of health interventions for an individual to be analysed.

Researchers can choose to use the outcome files as event-based (each row of data represents a hospitalization) or person-based (each row of data represents an individual). In order to use a 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).

The linked data should not be used to produce official mortality statistics. Official counts and rates of mortality are available on the Statistics Canada website or can be generated by requesting use of the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database which is accessible through the RDC or by requesting a custom tabulation from Statistics Canada (statcan.hd-ds.statcan@statcan.gc.ca).

The linked data cannot be used to produce statistics related to institutions and any outputs at the institution level will be restricted as per the vetting rules.

Institution information can be used as a method to generate other information (e.g., the postal code of the institution can be used to determine distance to a care facility) but cannot be used as an outcome of interest.

Archived - Survey of Canadians' Views on Statistics Canada

Consultation objectives

Over the past year, Statistics Canada has been shaping its modernization agenda to focus on user-centric service delivery, which necessarily includes an ongoing dialogue with Canadians.

The purpose of this public opinion research (POR) was to gather the opinions of Canadians regarding general knowledge and perception of Statistics Canada; access and use of Statistics Canada's information; trust in Statistics Canada and in the data it produced and the value of official statistics.

The POR data will be used to contribute to corporate activities, such as improving client services; updating corporate branding and communications strategies; and providing information for corporate performance reporting and the corporate risk profile.

Methodology

An online survey was used to collect this information from Canadians across the country. The survey was completed through the use of EKOS' online panel (designed to be statistically representative of the general public) with a sample of 2,050 Canadian adults. The survey was approximately 8 minutes in length and was conducted from June 1 - 21, 2018.

The methodology report and .csv file are available.

Results

Survey results show that 88% of Canadians trust Statistics Canada, higher than the share of Canadians who trust other government institutions (70%), banks and financial (58%) institutions, private market research or polling companies (57%) and the media (51%).

The survey also found that 80% of Canadians trust the quality of our data and 74% believe that we keep their personal information safe.

Just over two-thirds of people stated that Statistics Canada makes a major or moderate contribution to the life of Canadians.

Overall, 6 out of 10 Canadians frequently or occasionally use or refer to Statistics Canada information. General interest was cited as the most common reason for using our information, followed by research and analysis.

Most turned to the agency's official website to obtain information, but some also hear about Statistics Canada data through traditional media such as the radio and television. Younger Canadians aged 18 to 34 were more likely to use the website (85%) than Canadians over 65 years of age (46%).

For more information, please consult the Survey of Canadians' Views on Statistics Canada.

Archived - Statistics Canada's Website Evaluation 2019

Consultation objectives

In January and February 2019, Statistics Canada conducted its annual website evaluation by collecting feedback from visitors on a number of topics, including:

  • satisfaction
  • success in task completion

Methodology

A pop-up intercept was used from January 7 to February 11, 2019, to invite website users to complete a short questionnaire. In total, 10,617 visitors participated in the consultation.

Respondent profile

In order to better understand our respondents' profile, a few demographic questions (e.g., occupational profile, statistical proficiency, frequency of visits, etc.) were included in the short questionnaire.

When asked their occupational profile, 65% of respondents indicated that they were employed, 24% said that they were students, and the remainder either said they were retired (4%) or they selected "Other" (6%) from the list of options.

Of those employed, almost half (46%) were from the private sector and nearly one third (30%) worked in government.

Respondents were asked how they would define their statistical proficiency: 22% said they had a high proficiency (can manipulate datasets and do univariate or multivariate analysis); 57% said medium (can analyze and interpret data tables and turn them into useable information); 16% said low (can calculate a percentage and can display in a graph); and 5% indicated that they have no statistical proficiency at all.

Respondents were asked about the frequency of their visits to the website: 31% were frequent visitors (visited the website six or more times in the last six months) and 69% were infrequent visitors (visited the website fewer than six times in the last six months).

Results

Overall satisfaction

In 2019, 71% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the Statistics Canada website, in line with 2018.

Information sought

The consultation revealed that 48% of visitors were looking for data and data tables on a specific topic; 14% came to fill out a survey; 10% searched for studies, articles or publications on a specific topic; and 26% were looking for various things such as reference information, information on a specific location and standard classifications.

Task completion success

As in 2018, the results from 2019 showed that more than three quarters (79%) of respondents completed their task successfully.

Among successful respondents, 78% took less than 6 minutes to find the information they were seeking and 78% reported that finding information was easy.

Frequent visitors indicated a higher success rate in completing their tasks (85%) than infrequent visitors (77%).

Respondents from the municipal government sector and students had the most success in finding information, an 84% rate of success for each.

Among all visitors, the success level was highest for respondents looking for information in The Daily, at 92%.
