Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) linked to the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD)

The purpose of this linkage project was to create a linked dataset that would enable researchers to better understand immigrants' use of hospital care services, and fill a key data gap to allow for a greater understanding of differences that may exist among immigrants in Canada who are otherwise not identified in the administrative data.

To accomplish this, the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) was linked to hospital discharge events obtained from the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) for all provinces and territories (excluding Quebec). Information for immigrants landing in Canada between 1980 and 2013 were obtained from the IMDB, and these were linked to hospitalization records for fiscal years 2000/01 through 2013/14.

Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB)

The IMDB is an administrative census of immigrants who had landed in Canada since 1980. The IMDB combines an administrative Immigrant Landing File (ILF) and a Non-Permanent Resident Permit File (NRF-Permit) with the T1 Family File (T1FF) through exact matching record linkage techniques. It includes one file for each tax year since 1982, two files containing immigration characteristics at the person al level and one permit file for non-permanent residents. It should be noted that the version of the IMDB that was linked for the current study (i.e., the 2013 IMDB), did not include non-permanent residents. A linkage cohort file containing the identifiers of the IMDB immigrants who were eligible for linkage to the DAD is available through the RDC to enable researchers to verify membership of the IMDB linkage cohort. For information about the analytical variables included in the IMDB, researchers should consult the IMDB documentation 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 territories Footnote 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 IMDB cohort members from fiscal years 2000/01 through 2013/2014 were included.

File structure, layout

All variables from the IMDB 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 IMDB cohort member were identified using their IMDB_ID. 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).

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.

What are Capital Expenditures?

What are Capital Expenditures?

Capital Expenditures are the gross expenditures on fixed assets for use in the operations of your organization or for lease or rent to others. Gross expenditures are expenditures before deducting proceeds from disposals, and credits (capital grants, donations, government assistance and investment tax credits).

Fixed assets are also known as capital assets or property, plant and equipment. They are items with a useful life of more than one year and are not purchased for resale but rather for use in the entity's production of goods and services. Examples are buildings, vehicles, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, machinery, and computer software.

Include:

  • modifications, acquisitions and major renovations
  • capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees
  • subsidies and grants received and used in additions to fixed assets and construction-in-progress during the period
  • capitalized interest charges on loans with which capital projects are financed
  • work done by own labour force
  • additions to capital work in progress (construction-in-progress) accounts.

Exclude:

  • transfers from capital work in progress (construction-in-progress) to fixed assets accounts
  • assets associated with the acquisition of companies
  • property developed for sale and machinery or equipment acquired for sale (inventory).

How to Treat Leases

Include:

  • assets acquired as a lessee through either a capital or financial lease
  • assets acquired for lease to others as an operating lease.

Exclude assets acquired for lease to others, either as a capital or financial lease.

What are Repair Expenditures?

Non-capitalized repair and maintenance expenditures are that portion of current or operating expenditures charged against revenue in the year incurred and made for the purpose of keeping the stock of fixed assets in good working condition during the life originally intended.

Repair and maintenance allow such fixed assets to operate at output producing capacity during the asset life without undue amounts of down time (preventive function). A second purpose is the returning of any portion of the stock of fixed assets into a state of good working condition after any malfunctioning or reduced efficiency for whatever reason (curative function) short of replacement of such fixed assets or adding significantly to their life or productive efficiency.

Maintenance expenditures on buildings and other structures may include the routine care of assets such as janitorial services, snow removal and/or salting and sanding by the firm's own employees or persons outside the firm's employ. Maintenance expenditures on machinery and equipment may include oil change and lubrication of vehicles and machinery.

New Assets: Report Capital Expenditures for acquisitions of new assets including the portion of work in progress for the current year. Include imports of used assets since they represent newly acquired assets for the Canadian economy.

Purchase of Used Canadian Assets: The object of our survey is to measure the acquisitions of new fixed assets separately from used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole. This is because the acquisition of used assets does not increase the total inventory of fixed assets, it only transfers them within the Canadian economy. Report acquisition of used assets separately in this column.

Expected Useful Life of Assets: Report the expected life of the asset in years. If you have purchased similar assets with varying expected useful lives, please combine the data and provide a weighted average for the number of years.

Example of how to calculate a weighted average for years:

  • Asset A costs $1,000.00 and has a useful life of 20 years
  • Asset B costs $100.00 and has a useful life of 10 years
  • Asset C costs $10.00 and has a useful life of 30 years

Years = ((Asset A × Years of Asset A) + (Asset B × Years of Asset B) + (Asset C × Years of Asset C)) ÷ (Total Capital Expenditures)

Years = ((1000 × 20) + (100 × 10) + (10 × 30)) ÷ 1110

8. For the 2018 fiscal year, what were this organization's gross capital expenditures for commercial building construction?

Non-Residential Construction: Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for non-residential building and engineering construction (on a contracted basis and/or by your own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others.

Include:

  • manufacturing plants, warehouses, office buildings, shopping centres, etc.
  • roads, bridges, sewers, electric power lines, underground cables, etc.
  • the cost of demolition of buildings, land servicing and site preparation
  • leasehold and land improvements
  • additions to work in progress
  • townsite facilities such as streets, sewers, stores and schools
  • buildings that have accommodation units without self contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities ( e.g. , some student and senior citizen residences) and associated expenditures on services
  • all preconstruction planning and design costs such as engineer and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, etc.

New Assets: Report Capital Expenditures for acquisitions of new assets including the portion of work in progress for the current year. Include imports of used assets since they represent newly acquired assets for the Canadian economy.

Purchase of Used Canadian Assets: The object of our survey is to measure the acquisitions of new fixed assets separately from used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole. This is because the acquisition of used assets does not increase the total inventory of fixed assets, it only transfers them within the Canadian economy. Report acquisition of used assets separately in this column.

Renovation, Retrofit, Refurbishing, Overhauling and Restoration: Report Capital Expenditures for existing assets being upgraded, renovated, retrofitted, refurbished, overhauled or restored.

Expected Useful Life of Assets: Report the expected life of the asset in years. If you have purchased similar assets with varying expected useful lives, please combine the data and provide a weighted average for the number of years.

Example of how to calculate a weighted average for years:

  • Asset A costs $1,000.00 and has a useful life of 20 years
  • Asset B costs $100.00 and has a useful life of 10 years
  • Asset C costs $10.00 and has a useful life of 30 years

Years = ((Asset A × Years of Asset A) + (Asset B × Years of Asset B) + (Asset C × Years of Asset C)) ÷ (Total Capital Expenditures)

Years = ((1000 × 20) + (100 × 10) + (10 × 30)) ÷ 1110

Years = 19

If it is not possible to provide the weighted average, please provide the useful life for the asset which had the largest acquisition cost.

New Assets: Report Capital Expenditures for acquisitions of new assets including the portion of work in progress for the current year. Include imports of used assets since they represent newly acquired assets for the Canadian economy.

Purchase of Used Canadian Assets: The object of our survey is to measure the acquisitions of new fixed assets separately from used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole. This is because the acquisition of used assets does not increase the total inventory of fixed assets, it only transfers them within the Canadian economy. Report acquisition of used assets separately in this column.

Renovation, Retrofit, Refurbishing, Overhauling and Restoration: Report Capital Expenditures for existing assets being upgraded, renovated, retrofitted, refurbished, overhauled or restored.

Expected Useful Life of Assets: Report the expected life of the asset in years. If you have purchased similar assets with varying expected useful lives, please combine the data and provide a weighted average for the number of years.

Example of how to calculate a weighted average for years:

  • Asset A costs $1,000.00 and has a useful life of 20 years
  • Asset B costs $100.00 and has a useful life of 10 years
  • Asset C costs $10.00 and has a useful life of 30 years

Years = ((Asset A × Years of Asset A) + (Asset B × Years of Asset B) + (Asset C × Years of Asset C)) ÷ (Total Capital Expenditures)

Years = ((1000 × 20) + (100 × 10) + (10 × 30)) ÷ 1110

Years = 19

If it is not possible to provide the weighted average, please provide the useful life for the asset which had the largest acquisition cost.

Gross Capital Expenditures - Software

33. For the 2018 fiscal year, did this organization have capital expenditures for software?

  • Yes
  • No

34. For the 2018 fiscal year, what were this organization's expenditures for software?

New Assets: Report Capital Expenditures for acquisitions of new assets including the portion of work in progress for the current year. Include imports of used assets since they represent newly acquired assets for the Canadian economy.

Purchase of Used Canadian Assets: The object of our survey is to measure the acquisitions of new fixed assets separately from used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole. This is because the acquisition of used assets does not increase the total inventory of fixed assets, it only transfers them within the Canadian economy. Report acquisition of used assets separately in this column.

Renovation, Retrofit, Refurbishing, Overhauling and Restoration: Report Capital Expenditures for existing assets being upgraded, renovated, retrofitted, refurbished, overhauled or restored.

Expected Useful Life of Assets: Report the expected life of the asset in years. If you have purchased similar assets with varying expected useful lives, please combine the data and provide a weighted average for the number of years.

Example of how to calculate a weighted average for years:

  • Asset A costs $1,000.00 and has a useful life of 20 years
  • Asset B costs $100.00 and has a useful life of 10 years
  • Asset C costs $10.00 and has a useful life of 30 years

Years = ((Asset A × Years of Asset A) + (Asset B × Years of Asset B) + (Asset C × Years of Asset C)) ÷ (Total Capital Expenditures)

Years = ((1000 × 20) + (100 × 10) + (10 × 30)) ÷ 1110

Years = 19

If it is not possible to provide the weighted average, please provide the useful life for the asset which had the largest acquisition cost.

46. For the 2018 fiscal year, what were the selling price, gross book value and age of the disposed or sold assets for institutional building construction?

Selling Price: The total value, or the sales of fixed assets which were disposed of or sold, even if traded in for credit in the acquisition or purchase of new fixed assets. When land and buildings are sold together, please report the selling price of the land separately, along with other land sales.

Gross Book Value: This value should represent total capital expenditures for an asset, at and since the time of original construction or purchase, including all subsequent capital expenditures for the purpose of modernization, expansion, etc. Any subsidies received should not be subtracted.

Age: Report the age of the fixed asset at the time of disposal. If you have disposed of or sold similar assets of varying ages, report them separately or combine the data and provide a weighted average for the ages, please combine the data and provide a weighted average for the number of years.

Example of how to calculate a weighted average for years:

  • Asset A costs $1,000.00 and has a useful life of 20 years
  • Asset B costs $100.00 and has a useful life of 10 years
  • Asset C costs $10.00 and has a useful life of 30 years

Years = ((Asset A × Years of Asset A) + (Asset B × Years of Asset B) + (Asset C × Years of Asset C)) ÷ (Total Capital Expenditures)

Years = ((1000 × 20) + (100 × 10) + (10 × 30)) ÷ 1110

Years = 19

If it is not possible to provide the weighted average, please provide the useful life for the asset which had the largest acquisition cost.

Countries and Areas of Interest for Social Statistics - SCCAI 2018 - Introduction

The variant Countries and Areas of Interest for Social Statistics – SCCAI 2018 was developed to create groupings of countries to enable the production of integrated statistics when publishing social statistics data. These groupings are based on those used historically for Statistics Canada's Census of Population place of birth variable.

The variant Countries and Areas of Interest for Social Statistics – SCCAI 2018 has three levels: 6 geographical macro-regions, 19 geographical sub-regions and 251 countries or areas of interest. This variant is defined in terms of countries or areas of interest in the Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2018. The hierarchical structure of the classification shows the relationship between the three levels of the classification variant.

  • Level 1: Geographical macro-regions
  • Level 2: Geographical sub-regions
  • Level 3: Countries and areas of interest

This variant has a coding structure built on the United Nations numeric code (NUM-3) for countries or areas. This three-digit code is preceded by two numeric digits, where the first digit represents the macro-region and the second digit identifies the sub-region within the macro-region. Together, this five-digit code forms the SCCAI code.

Relation to previous version

This is a revision of the previous Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2017. This standard includes a classification variant, Countries and Areas of Interest for Social Statistics – SCCAI 2018, that provides standard groupings of countries and associated codes for publication purposes. Usage notes are included with the standard.

Conformity to relevant internationally recognized standards

This standard is compatible with the composition of geographical macro-regions and geographical sub-regions of the United Nations Statistics DivisionFootnote 1; however, some differences remain. The main differences are:

  • in this standard, Bermuda is included within the sub-region Caribbean and Bermuda, whereas it is part of Northern America in the United Nations groupings
  • the macro-region Oceania is not further divided into sub-regions in SCCAI
  • West Central Asia and the Middle East is one sub-region in SCCAI, while most of the countries found here are in two sub-regions, Central Asia and Western Asia, in the United Nations groupings
  • Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are included within the sub-region of Eastern Europe in SCCAI, whereas they are part of Northern Europe in the United Nations groupings
  • some French sub-region names used by the United Nations have been modified in SCCAI to make them simpler and more consistent with Canadian convention.

Concordance: Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2017 and the Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2018

The concordance table presented here shows the relationship between SCCAI 2017 (first six columns: code, country or area of interest, Num-3, Alpha-2, Alpha-3, status code) and SCCAI 2018 (last six columns: code, country or area of interest, Num-3, Alpha-2, Alpha-3, explanatory note). Changes to country names and codes since 1970 is presented in the list of Current and Historical Countries and Areas of Interest.

Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2018 - Introduction

The Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2018 was developed to increase coherence of the list of countries used within Statistics Canada and to be more consistent with Government of Canada norms. This list of countries and areas includes those for which statistical data are compiled. To satisfy the broadest possible range of applications, all entities in the list are mutually exclusive. For instance, China, Hong Kong and Macao are considered as separate entities for the purpose of this classification. This list of countries and areas of interest forms the base level of the classification and applies to both economic and social statistics.

There are 251 countries or areas in the SCCAI 2018, including the 249 countries or areas found in the international standard ISO 3166-1:2013Footnote 1. The two additional entries in the SCCAI that are not in the ISO list are Kosovo, which was recognized as a country by Canada in 2008, and Sark, which was recognized as an area by the United Nations in 2011. The names of countries or areas refer to their short form used and not necessarily to their full names. They are based on the short names used in the ISO standard and were modified both to reflect Canadian norms as well as to follow specific naming rules adopted for the Canadian list. The modifications to reflect Canadian norms were done based on consulting the Global Affairs Canada website as well as examining responses to the 2016 Census of Population question for the place of birth variable. The specific naming rules adopted for the Canadian list are:

  1. Use of short form of country names wherever practicable and/or to avoid confusion;
  2. Use of commas for sorting in alphabetical order; and
  3. Use of long form of country names to avoid confusion.

These changes to the names have resulted in differences between SCCAI 2018 and ISO 3166-1:2013.

The SCCAI provides a list of the names of countries or areas of interest in order of their corresponding five-digit SCCAI code. The first two digits in the SCCAI code correspond to the hierarchical structure in the Countries and Areas of Interest for Social Statistics - SCCAI 2018, while the last three digits represent the United Nations numeric codes (NUM-3) for countries or areas. Also included are internationally used three-digit numerical codes, two-character alpha codes and three-character alpha codes.

In addition, historical revisions of countries and areas of interest are available to users who compile longitudinal data on countries and areas of interest.

The material on current and historical countries and areas of interest is presented here to help users who compile longitudinal data on countries and areas of interest to assign those data to the right current or formerly used country names and codes. A start and end date are provided to define the period of validity of country names and codes; there is no end date when the country names or codes are current. This list, which compiles changes to country names and codes since 1970, is based on information gathered from the following sources:

  • current and previous editions of the standard ISO 3166-1, Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 1: Country codes;
  • ISO 3166-3 Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 3: Code for formerly used names of countries;
  • newsletters related to ISO 3166-1 and ISO 3166-3; and
  • current and previous editions of the United Nations Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use.

Code description

Code: Five-digit numerical code defined in the variant for social statistics, Countries and Areas of Interest for Social Statistics (SCCAI).

Num-3: Three-digit numerical code defined by the United Nations.

Alpha-2: Two-character alpha code defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Alpha-3: Three-character alpha code defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Relation to previous version

This is a revision of the previous Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2017. This standard includes a classification variant, Countries and Areas of Interest for Social Statistics - SCCAI 2018, that provides standard groupings of countries and associated codes for publication purposes. Usage notes are included with the standard.

Conformity to relevant internationally recognized standards

This standard is compatible with the list of countries or areas included in the International Standard for country codes ISO 3166-1, except for the recognition of Kosovo and Sark. The coding structure follows the ISO coding structure, with countries having three-digit numeric codes, two-character alpha codes, and three-character alpha codes. New codes were assigned to Kosovo and Sark based on an ISO clause which places codes at the disposal of users who need to add further names of countries or areas of interest to their list.

The 249 countries and areas in the ISO 3166-1:2013Footnote 1standard includes 240 of the 241 countries or areas for which statistical data are compiled by the Statistics Division of the United Nations SecretariatFootnote 2. The entity Channel Islands, which regroups Guernsey, Jersey and Sark, is an intermediate level not retained in ISO or SCCAI.

Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2018

Status

This standard was approved as a departmental standard on April 9, 2019.

2018 version of SCCAI

The Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2018 is based on the international standard for country codes ISO 3166-1:2013Footnote 1. All changes made as of December 31, 2018 are included in this 2018 version of the SCCAI. The list was also updated for consistency with Government of Canada norms.

In addition to the list of countries and areas of interest, a classification variant for social statistics data is included. The hierarchical structure of the classification shows the relationship between these geographic areas.

Countries and Areas of Interest for Social Statistics - SCCAI 2018

The classification variant for social statistics includes customized groupings (geographical macro-regions and geographical sub-regions) of the SCCAI countries for the publication of social statistics data.

Longitudinal Worker File (LWF)

The Longitudinal Worker File (LWF) is an administrative database designed to provide information on employment dynamics in Canada. From the linked administrative tax data sources, information on workers' demographic characteristics, the jobs they hold, the business enterprises in which they work, and the earnings they receive can be identified. This structure, coupled with information that allows workers' movements from employer to employer to be identified, makes the LWF particularly well-suited to studying a variety of issues (e.g., labour turnover and mobility, earnings dynamics, and transitions to retirement).

The LWF-RDC file is a version of the LWF 100% file that can be accessed by researchers at the Research Data Centres (RDCs). This LWF-RDC version 1.0 covers the 1991-to-2016 tax years with the following key features:

  • A 10% file extracted from the LWF 100% file
  • A generic firm ID is created to identify the firm that individuals are associated with so that individual job mobility can be tracked but information cannot be aggregated at the firm-level.
  • Industry information associated with each job record will be provided at aggregate level (2-digit NAICS level from 1991 onwards).

The Data

The LWF is constructed by integrating data from four sources: the T1 and T4 files of Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the Record of Employment (ROE) files of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), and the Longitudinal Employment Analysis Program (LEAP) of Statistics Canada (StatCan).

For the LWF-RDC Version 1.0 file, selected variables from the above-mentioned component files are extracted from the 1991-to-2016 tax years.

T1 Personal Master File (T1 PMF)

Information on the demographic and financial characteristics of individuals is drawn from the T1 personal tax files. This includes individuals' sex, age, marital status, province of residence, education deductions for full-time and part-time study, tuition fees for self, net self-employment income, RRSP contributions, RRSP income, pension adjustment amount, union dues, and death identifier.

T4 Statement of Remuneration Paid Files (T4 supp) and T4 Statement of Employment Insurance and Other Benefits (T4E)

Job-level information is drawn from T4 records. This includes province of employment, employment income, employment insurance premiums, employment insurance income (from T4E file), pension adjustment amount, and union dues.

Record of Employment (ROE)

Reason for job termination is identified from the ROE file. When there are multiple ROEs for the same firm in the same year, only the job separation information related to the last ROE received in the year is kept in the LWF-RDC file. Researchers are informed of this situation with the "multiroe" indicator variable.

Longitudinal Employment Analysis Program (LEAP)

The LEAP provides the business-level information related to the firm that can be associated with the workers. In the LWF-RDC version 1.0 file, province of employment and an industry code based on 2-digit NAICS code are provided.

File Structure

There are two files available for users to use in the LWF-RDC Version 1.0: person-level file and job-level file.

In the person-level data, the unit of analysis is the individual. Each individual has only one record in a given year, regardless of the number of jobs held.

In the job-level dataset, the unit of analysis is a job held by a given individual in a given year. For example, an individual who receives T4 earnings from three business enterprises in a given year will have three records on the file for that year.

Limitations

None of the data sources used to construct the LWF contain information on workers' educational attainment or occupation, and hence these variables are not available on the file.

Information is also not available on the number of hours individuals work each week nor on the number of weeks worked each year. As a result, weekly earnings or hourly earnings cannot be computed.  Only annual earnings can be measured using workers' annual employment income (from T4 records) and/or workers' net income from self-employment (from T1 records).

The file is not stratified by province, industry, or firm size.

Definitions

Legal Name

The legal name is one recognized by law, thus it is the name liable for pursuit or for debts incurred by the business or organization. In the case of a corporation, it is the legal name as fixed by its charter or the statute by which the corporation was created.

Modifications to the legal name should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.

To indicate a legal name of another legal entity you should instead indicate it in question 3 by selecting 'Not currently operational' and then choosing the applicable reason and providing the legal name of this other entity along with any other requested information.

Operating Name

The operating name is a name the business or organization is commonly known as if different from its legal name. The operating name is synonymous with trade name.

Current main activity of the business or organization

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 unit(s) targeted by this questionnaire only, 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.

Fall rye and winter wheat seeded in previous year

Fall rye:
Rye that is seeded and germinates in the fall of one year, is dormant over the winter and resumes growth in the spring.

Winter wheat:
Wheat that is seeded and germinates in the fall of one year, is dormant over the winter and resumes growth in the spring. Winter wheat is grown in areas with milder winters.

Seeding in 2019

Wheat

Wheat, durum:
A variety of wheat sown in the spring, used to make pasta products.

Wheat, spring:
Is the main type of wheat grown in Canada. It is seeded in the spring and harvested in the late summer or early fall of the same year.

Wheat, spring — Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS):

CWRS wheat is the largest wheat class in Canada. It is recognized around the world for its excellent milling and baking qualities with minimal protein loss during milling. Due to good gluten strength, it is used extensively either alone or in blends with other wheat varieties for the production of a diverse range of products such as hearth breads, steam breads, noodles, common wheat pasta, and flat breads.
CWRS Varieties: AAC Alida, AAC Bailey, AAC Brandon, AAC Cameron, AAC Connery, AAC Elie, AAC Jatharia, AAC Prevail, AAC Redberry, AAC Redwater, AAC Tisdale, AAC Viewfield, AAC W1876, AAC Warman, AC Abbey, AC Barrie, AC Cadillac, AC Cora, AC Domain, AC Eatonia, AC Elsa, AC Intrepid, AC Majestic, AC Michael, AC Minto, AC Splendor, Alikat, Alvena, Carberry, Cardale, CDC Abound, CDC Adamant, CDC Alsask, CDC Bounty, CDC Bradwell, CDC Go, CDC Hughes, CDC Imagine, CDC Kernen, CDC Landmark, CDC Makwa, CDC Osler, CDC Plentiful, CDC Stanley, CDC Teal, CDC Thrive, CDC Titanium, CDC Utmost, CDC VR Morris, Coleman, Columbus, Conway, Fieldstar, Glenn, Go Early, Goodeve, Harvest, Helios, Infinity, Journey, Kane, Katepwa, Laura, Leader, Lillian, Lovitt, McKenzie, Muchmore, Neepawa, Parata, Park, Pasqua, Peace,Pembina, Prodigy, Roblin, Shaw, Somerset, Stettler, Superb, SY Chert, SY Obsidian, SY Slate, SY Sovite, SY 433, SY479 VB, SY637, Thatcher, Thorsby, Unity, Vesper, Waskada, WR859 CL, Zealand, 5500HR, 5600HR, 5601HR, 5602HR, 5603HR, 5604HR CL, 5605HR CL.

Buckwheat:
A plant grown as green manure and as a cereal crop.

Canary seed:
A cereal grain primarily grown for use as birdseed, as well as for human consumption. Most of the canary seed grown in Canada is exported.

Canola (rapeseed):
Canola are plants grown specifically for their low erucic acid oil and low glucosinolate content. Canola meal, the residue after the oil is extracted, is used in animal feeds as a protein source. This crop also includes Industry Preserved canola (IP).

Chickpeas:
Leguminous annual pea plant cultivated for human consumption. Also called Garbanzo beans.

Corn for grain:
Also called "grain corn", this is corn left to mature in the field, then harvested for grain rather than as forage. The grain may be harvested dry or as "high moisture corn" and stored in a silo. "Shelled corn", "cob corn" and "corn seed" are also considered as corn for grain.

Corn for silage:
This is corn that is cut while still immature. It is then turned into silage or is grazed. This category also includes corn that is left standing in the fall or winter, for feed purposes. This category is also referred to as "fodder corn".

Dry beans:
Please report all dry beans (black, red, white, fava, etc.) individually.  Other and unknown varieties examples: adzuki (azuki, aduki), baby lima, black eyes peas, Dutch brown, kintoki, large lima, lupini, otebo, pink, speckled sugar, white kidney (cannellini, alubia type).

Dry field peas:
An annual leguminous plant producing 3-inch long pod, grown to be harvested when dry.

Flaxseed:
A plant grown for its oil-bearing seeds e.g., linseed as well as for its fibres i.e., linen.

Hemp:
Crop (often called industrial hemp) that can be transformed into textiles, clothing, cosmetics, soap, beer, industrial fibre, building materials and paper. Canada's hemp industry is pioneering the development of hemp-based foods: flour, nutritional bars, pasta, cookies, lactose-free milk and ice cream.

Lentils:
Annual plants similar to peas, which produce pods containing two dark flat seeds.

Mixed grains:
A combination of two or more grains e.g., oats and barley or peas and oats sown and harvested together, usually harvested for grain. It may also be cut green for hay or silage.

Mustard seed:
An oilseed crop that generates seed-filled pods used mostly for spice and to make the yellow condiment. Three main types are grown on the Prairies: yellow, brown and oriental.

Oats:
A cereal grown primarily for livestock feed. Oats are usually harvested for grain but may also be cut green for hay or silage. Oats are also grown for human consumption e.g., oatmeal and oat bran.

Soybeans:
A plant primarily grown for their edible, high protein, oil-bearing seeds.

Spring rye:
Rye seeded in the spring and harvested in the fall.  This type of rye is grown only in areas which are too cold for fall seeding e.g., Northern Prairies.

Sugar beets:
Large beets (6 to 12 inches) selected for their high sugar content and used for making white table sugar.

Sunflower seed:
Plants from which the seeds are selected either for their oil content, or for use as birdseed or for confectionery purposes. Includes sunola and other dwarf varieties.

Triticale:
Triticale is a varietal cross between rye and wheat. It is harvested for its grain but often it is cut for hay or silage.

Tobacco:
The tobacco plant is a coarse, large leafed perennial but it is usually cultivated as an annual.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)

Genetically modified organisms – GMOs
Crops developed through genetic engineering, a more precise method of plant breeding. Genetic engineering, also referred to as biotechnology, allows plant breeders to take a desirable trait found in nature and transfer it from one plant or organism to the plant they want to improve, as well as make a change to an existing trait in a plant they are developing. Some examples of desirable traits commonly transferred include resistance to insects and disease and tolerance to herbicides that allow farmers to better control weeds.

Biotechnology
The application of science and engineering in the use of living organisms.

Genetic engineering
A technique involving the transfer of specific genetic information from one organism to another.

Genetically modified seed
A seed whose genetic information has been recently altered by genetic engineering or mutagenesis.

Mutagenesis
A process by which an organism is genetically changed, resulting in a mutation, which is a change in the DNA sequence of a gene. It may occur naturally or it can happen deliberately for the purpose of increasing genetic variation of a species. Commonly used tool for plant breeding, in which researchers force the mutation of a plant's genetics, for example, by exposing seeds to chemicals or irradiation. Crops created with mutagenesis breeding are not considered GMOs and this technique is not considered genetic engineering. In fact, varieties developed using these techniques are considered to be "conventional" varieties and are allowed in organic production systems.

Plant breeding
The science of selecting and altering plants to increase their value by producing desirable traits such as increased quality or yield, virus resistance or increased tolerance to pests.

Terminator gene
A gene that renders seeds sterile.

Transgenic
A plant or animal containing one or more new genes introduced by genetic engineering.

Other terms used for genetically modified seed corn for grain
Liberty Link, Roundup Ready, HTH, Bt Corn (YieldGard, KnockOut, NatureGuard, Xtra, StarLink and Herculex).

Exclude forage crops to be harvested for hay or used for pasture.

Other land areas

Summerfallow:
Land on which no crop will be grown during the year, but which may be cultivated or worked for weed control and/or moisture conservation, or it may simply be left to lay fallow in order to renew the soil.

Chemfallow:
Summerfallow where herbicides are used without working the soil.

Winterkilled land:
Crop areas sown in the previous fall that did not survive the winter conditions, which will not be reseeded or pastured to another crop in the following spring.

Land for pasture or grazing:
All land which is being used for pasture, grazing, native pasture, native hay, rangeland and grazable bush used for the grazing or feeding of livestock.

Other land:
Area of farmstead, wasteland, woodland, cut-over land, slough, swamp, marshland and irrigation ditches, fruits and vegetables, mushrooms, maple trees, Christmas trees, sod, or new broken land (land which has been cleared and prepared for cultivation but will not be cropped).
