Fertilizer Shipments Survey – Canadian Producers

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted on behalf of Fertilizer Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, to produce statistics on shipments of fertilizer in Canada by manufacturers, wholesale distributors and major retail distributors. This information is essential to support Canada's international reporting obligations of inventory of greenhouse gas emissions.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the response burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce the response burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. 

The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada
Attention of Director, Enterprise Statistics Division
150 Tunney’s Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0T6

You may also contact us by email at infostats or by fax at 1-514-496-4879.

For this survey, there is a Section 12 agreement with the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

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

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

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The 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 classes; 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.

Fertilizer Shipments Survey – Canadian Retail Distributors

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted on behalf of Fertilizer Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, to produce statistics on shipments of fertilizer in Canada by manufacturers, wholesale distributors and major retail distributors. This information is essential to support Canada's international reporting obligations of inventory of greenhouse gas emissions.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the response burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce the response burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. 

The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada
Attention of Director, Enterprise Statistics Division
150 Tunney’s Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0T6

You may also contact us by email at infostats or by fax at 1-514-496-4879.

For this survey, there is a Section 12 agreement with the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

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

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

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The 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 classes; 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.

Description and examples

  • This is the current main activity.
  • This is not the current main activity.

Please provide a brief but precise description of this business or organization's main activity.

Labour Market and Socio-economic Indicators - July-September 2025

From July – September 2025, the following questions measuring the Labour Market and Socio-economic Indicators were added to the Labour Force Survey as a supplement.

The purpose of this survey is to identify changing dynamics within the Canadian labour market, and measure important socio-economic indicators by gathering data on topics such as type of employment, quality of employment, support payments and unmet health care needs.

Questionnaire flow within the collection application is controlled dynamically based on responses provided throughout the survey. Therefore, some respondents will not receive all questions, and there is a small chance that some households will not receive any questions at all. This is based on their answers to certain LFS questions.

Legislative Influences - 2024

Changes in legislation and the resulting change in the offence classification creates discontinuity in the historical record of particular criminal offences. Legislative changes to assault, sexual assault, theft, arson, mischief, prostitution and youth crime must be considered when making comparisons over time. Some of the more significant changes are as follows:

Sexual Assault: Bill C-127 (1983):

Bill C-127 abolished the offences of rape, attempted rape and indecent assault and introduced a three-tiered structure for sexual assault offences. C-127 also eased the circumstances under which police could lay charges in incidents of sexual and non-sexual assault.

Young Offenders Act (1984):

With the proclamation of the Young Offenders Act in April 1984, 12 years old became the minimum age for which charges could be laid under the Criminal Code. However, the maximum age continued to vary until April 1985, when the maximum age of 17 (up to the 18th birthday) was established in all provinces and territories. Youths, as defined in this publication, refer to those aged 12 to 17 (inclusive). This definition applies to the target group who fall under the delegation of the Young Offenders Act (YOA).

Traffic Offences: Bill C-18 (1985):

In December 1985, Bill C-18 made major legislative changes with respect to certain traffic offences. It imposed more stringent sentences for dangerous driving and drinking and driving. It also facilitated the enforcement of impaired driving laws by authorizing police to take blood and/or breath samples under certain circumstances. As a result, data previous to 1985 for traffic offences are not comparable and have not been presented.

Property value limits: Bill C-18 (1985) and Bill C-42 (1995):

In 1985, Bill C-18 altered the property value limits from under and over $200 to under and over $1,000. This applied to offences such as Theft, Possession of Stolen Goods, Mischief and Fraud. As of February 1995, Bill C-42 revised the property value limits to under and over $5,000.

Alternative measures: Bill C-41 (1996):

Bill C-41 came into force on September 3, 1996. One of its highlights was the introduction of "alternative measures" for adults, which provided ways of dealing with disputes and minor offences outside of formal court proceedings.

Firearms: Bill C-68 (1997):

Bill C-68, came into force on January 1, 1997, requiring all firearm owners to obtain a firearms license by January 1st, 2001. This license replaces the Firearms Acquisition Certificate (FAC) in use since 1977. As of October 1, 1998, firearms had to be registered by October 1st 2003 (within 5 years). Bill C-68 also provided for tougher penalties for using a firearm while committing a crime.

Controlled Drugs and Substances Act: Bill C-8 (1997):

This legislation came into force on May 14, 1997. The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) repealed and replaced the Narcotic Control Act (NCA) and parts of the Food and Drug Act (FDA). With this change in legislation, offences related to the possession, trafficking and importation of certain controlled or restricted substances not identified in earlier statutes were now (since 1997) included in the 'other drugs' category. Comparisons with years prior to 1997 should be made with caution.

Dangerous Operation Evading Police: Bill C-202 (2000):

Bill C-202 came into effect on March 30th, 2000. This legislation modifies section 249 of the Criminal Code, thus creating new offences surrounding the dangerous operation of a motor vehicle when used for evading police.

Youth Criminal Justice Act: Bill C-7 (2003):

The extrajudicial measures encouraged by the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA), proclaimed on April 1, 2003, included: taking no further action informal police warnings, referrals to community programs, formal police cautions, Crown cautions, and extrajudicial sanctions programs.

Street Racing: Bill C-19 (2006):

Bill C-19 came into force on December 14, 2006 and addressed the street-racing problem by making four amendments to the Criminal Code. "Street-racing" was defined and five new street-racing offences were added. For three of the new offences, it provided maximum penalties longer than those currently provided for Dangerous Operation or Criminal Negligence in the Operation of a Motor Vehicle, and it introduced mandatory driving prohibition orders for a minimum period of time, with the length of the prohibition increasing for repeat offences.

Unauthorized Recording of a Movie: Bill C-59 (2007):

Bill C-59, came into force on June 22, 2007, addressing the illegal recording of movies in theatres by creating two new offences in the Criminal Code: Recording for Personal Use of a Movie Shown in a Theatre and Recording for Commercial Purposes of a Movie Shown in a Theatre.

Tackling Violent Crime: Bill C-2 (2008):

As a result of Bill C-2, which came into force on February 28, 2008, the age of consent was raised from 14 to 16 for the following Criminal Code offences: Sexual Interference, Invitation to Sexual Touching, Sexual Exploitation, Bestiality and Exposure to Person Under 14. The UCR also created a new violation code for Sexual Exploitation of a Person with a Disability.

Impaired Operation and Failure to Provide a Blood Sample were modified to now differentiate between alcohol and drugs (or a combination of the two). Fail/refuse to provide breath sample and failure to comply or refusal (drugs) will now have a maximum penalty of 25 years.

Bill C-2 also created two additional firearm-related offences, Robbery to Steal a Firearm and Breaking and Entering to Steal a Firearm, both of which carry a maximum penalty of 25 years.

Act to amend the Criminal Code (organized crime and protection of justice system participants) Bill C-14 (2009):

Bill C-14 officially came into effect on October 2, 2009. As a result, two new violation codes were created: Assault Against Peace Officer with a Weapon or Causing Bodily Harm, and Aggravated Assault Against a Peace Officer.

Codifying Identity Theft: Bill S-4 (2010):

Bill S-4 came into effect on January 8, 2010. As a result, two new violation codes were created: Identity Theft and Identity Fraud.

Trafficking in Person's under the age of 18: Bill C-268 (2010):

Bill C-268 came into effect on June 29, 2010. As a result, section 279.011(1) was added to the Criminal Code. This section is incorporated into the existing UCR violation code for Trafficking in Persons.

An Act to amend the Criminal Code (suicide bombings): Bill S-215 (2010):

Bill S-215 became law on December 15, 2010. This bill amended the Criminal Code to clarify that suicide bombings fall within the definition of "terrorist activity" and as such, are included under UCR codes for the following: Participate in Terrorist Activity, Facilitate Terrorist Activity, and Instruct/Carry Out Terrorist Activity.

Tackling Auto Theft and Trafficking in Property Obtained by Crime: Bill S-9 (2011):

Bill S-9 officially came into effect on April 29, 2011. As a result, a new UCR violation code for Motor Vehicle Theft was created, replacing the former UCR violations of Motor Vehicle Theft Over $5,000 and Motor Vehicle Theft $5,000 and Under.

Possession of Stolen Goods was separated into two new categories; Possession of Stolen Goods Over $5,000 and Possession of Stolen Goods $5,000 and Under.

Three new UCR violation codes were also created: Altering/Destroying/Removing a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Trafficking in Stolen Goods Over $5,000 and Trafficking in Stolen Goods $5,000 and Under.

Amendment to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act: Bill C-475 (2011):

Bill C-475 came into effect on June 26, 2011. As a result, section 7.1(1) was added to the Criminal Code. This section is included under the UCR violation code of Precursor/Equipment (Crystal Meth, Ecstasy).

The Safe Streets Act: Bill C-10 (2012):

Bill C-10 came into effect on August 9, 2012. As a result, two new sections were added to the Criminal Code; Section 172.2(1) and Section 171.1(1). Section 172.2(1) is mapped to the existing UCR code of Luring a Child Via Computer. Section 171.1(1) is mapped to the new UCR violation code of Making Sexually Explicit Material Available to Children.

Combating Terrorism Act: Bill S-7 (2013):

Bill S-7 came into effect on July 15th, 2013. This bill amends the Criminal Code to create the offences of: Leaving or Attempting to Leave Canada to Commit Certain Terrorism Offences, and brought changes to the offence of Harbouring / Concealing Terrorist. Seven new UCR violation codes were introduced mid-2013 in response to this legislation.

Mischief to war memorials: Bill C-217 (2014):

Under Criminal Code sections 430(4.11(a)), 430(4.11(b)) and 430 (4.2), Bill C-217 created a new criminal offence of Mischief Relating to War Memorials when it came into force on the 19th of June, 2014. At the same time, the UCR violation Mischief in Relation to Cultural Property was introduced to the survey.

Recruitment to Criminal Organizations: Bill C-394 (2014):

This bill came into force on September 6th, 2014 and made the recruitment of members by a criminal organization a criminal offence under section 467.111 of the Criminal Code.

Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act: Bill C-36 (2014):

Bill C-36 came into effect in December 2014. The new legislation targeted "The exploitation that is inherent in prostitution and the risks of violence posed to those who engage in it" (Criminal Code Chapter 25, preamble). Violations classified as Offences in Relation to Sexual Services are considered to be violent offences and include: The Purchasing of Sexual Services or Communicating for that Purpose, Receiving a Material Benefit Deriving from the Purchase of Sexual Services, Procuring of Persons for the Purpose of Prostitution, and Advertising Sexual Services Offered for Sale. In addition, a number of other offences related to prostitution continue to be considered non-violent offences and are classified under Other Criminal Code offences. These include Public Communication to Sell Sexual Services and Offences Related to Impeding Traffic to Buy or Sell Sexual Services.

At the same time, the UCR survey was amended to add additional offence codes for the following violent violations: Parent or Guardian Procuring Sexual Activity, and Householder Permitting Prohibited Sexual Activity. The following violations officially expired on December 5, 2014: Bawdy House, Living off the Avails of Prostitution of a Person Under 18, Procuring, Obtains/Communicates with a Person Under 18 for Purpose of Sex, and Other Prostitution.

Effective December 2014, Bill C-36 amended the definition of the offence "Common Bawdy House" in the Criminal Code to remove reference to prostitution. As a result of this amendment, the UCR violation of "Bawdy House" was terminated, and the new violation of "Common Bawdy House" was introduced under 'Other Violations'.

Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (2024) 

The Canadian Centre for Justice and Community Safety Statistics (CCJCSS) has introduced the following new violation code to the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey: 6580 ‘Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act’. Currently, offences under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) are being captured under the general UCR code 6900 ‘Other Federal Statutes’ which includes data from a number of other federal statutes. This does not allow for national reporting on offences under this legislation individually. Capturing data on PCMLTFA offences under its own separate code will provide key information for crime analysis, resource planning and program development for the policing community and will also allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of Canada’s measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing completed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)1 as part of the Mutual Evaluation Review. This change will also contribute to the safety and security of Canadians by providing more detailed information to support law enforcement efforts to detect and disrupt criminal and financial terrorist activities.

Comparing UCR Data with Courts and Corrections Data

It is difficult to make comparisons between data reported by police and data from other sectors of the criminal justice system (i.e., courts and corrections). There is no single unit of count (i.e., incidents, offences, charges, cases or persons) which is defined consistently across the major sectors of the justice system. As well, charges actually laid can be different from the Most Serious Offence by which incidents are categorized. In addition, the number and type of charges laid by police may change at the pre-court stage or during the court process. Time lags between the various stages of the justice process also make comparisons difficult.

Approved microdata linkages: 2025 submissions

Corrections Population Mortality Dataset: Microdata Linkage of the Canadian Coroner and Medical Examiner Database (CCMED) to the Canadian Correctional Services Survey (CCSS) and Canadian Vital Statistics Database – Death (CVSD) (001-2025)

Corrections Population Mortality Dataset: Microdata Linkage of the Canadian Coroner and Medical Examiner Database (CCMED) to the Canadian Correctional Services Survey (CCSS) and Canadian Vital Statistics Database – Death (CVSD) (001-2025)

Purpose: The main objective of the Corrections Population Mortality Dataset is to provide academic researchers and government policy analysts additional narrative around individuals who experience mortality after correctional involvement. Using data from the Canadian Coroner and Medical Examiner Database (CCMED), the Canadian Correctional Services Survey (CCSS) and the Canadian Vital Statistics database (CVSD), we will be able to understand additional information around these unnatural deaths and the circumstances surrounding them. This includes deaths due to accidents, intentional self-harm, unintentional drug overdoses, and homicide. This study will attempt to address the existing significant data gaps around this highly vulnerable population.

Output: Only non-confidential aggregated tables, conforming to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act, will be released outside of Statistics Canada. The analytical file, without personal identifiers, will be made available via Statistics Canada’s Secure Access Points and access will only be granted to Statistics Canada deemed employees following the standard Statistics Canada approval process.

Productivity of businesses supported by Investissement Québec. (002-2025)

Productivity of businesses supported by Investissement Québec. (002-2025)

Purpose: The goal of the project is to examine trends in the labour productivity of businesses supported through Investissement Québec’s Initiative Productivité Innovation program. Since Investissement Québec do not collect information on the labour productivity of businesses, they will provide the list of businesses they support to Statistics Canada, who will link the businesses to the Business Register and subsequently to the National Accounts Longitudinal Microdata File. The latter database contains businesses’ financial characteristics, which make it possible to calculate measures of productivity.

Output: Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analyses that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. The output will be provided in the form of tables including trends in productivity of businesses by year and industry, in current and constant dollars, from 2015 to the most recent year available.

Linkage of the Census of Population to the Integrated Criminal Court Survey (ICCS) and the Canadian Correctional Services Survey (CCSS) to explore the characteristics of people who come into contact with the criminal justice system relative to those who do not. (004-2025) 

Purpose: The objective of this project is to examine the extent to which group differences in socioeconomic opportunities and circumstances can explain group differences in contacts with the criminal justice system. In particular, this project will focus on groups that are overrepresented in the criminal justice system. 

Output: The analytical files and linking keys, without identifiers, will be made available via Statistics Canada’ Research Data Centres. Access will only be granted to Statistics Canada deemed employees following the standard approval process. Linked analytical files and anonymized linking keys may also be used by Statistics Canada to produce non-confidential aggregate statistical tables and analytical reports, such. 

Exploring differences between Our Health Counts Community Partnered Respondent Driven Sampling Methods to Enumerate First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Populations in Thunder Bay and Kenora and Statistics Canada Population Counts. (005-2025)

Exploring differences between Our Health Counts Community Partnered Respondent Driven Sampling Methods to Enumerate First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Populations in Thunder Bay and Kenora and Statistics Canada Population Counts. (005-2025)  

Purpose: Our Health Counts (OHC) projects are conducted in partnership by Indigenous health scholars and local Indigenous health service providers and have produced estimates of the number of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people living in several urban areas, including London, Kenora, Ottawa, Thunder Bay and Toronto. These population estimates are higher than the corresponding 2016 Census counts from May 10, 2016. This collaborative project between OHC and Statistics Canada will explore these differences with the aim of improving the enumeration of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples living in urban and related homelands.  

The project will involve a linkage between OHC data for First Nations, Métis and Inuit people living in Thunder Bay and Kenora, and Statistics Canada data holdings including the 2016 Census of Population, and the Derived Record Depository (Social Data Linkage Environment). All aspects of the project, including determining relevant data holdings to link to the OHC data, appropriate analysis methods, and dissemination of findings will be determined collaboratively. The OHC data will be provided by Anishnawbe Mushkiki (OHC Thunder Bay) and Waasegiizhig Nanaandawe’iyewigamig (OHC Kenora), who are the legal custodians of these OHC datasets. Survey respondents were asked if they consent to have their data linked to Census data. Only those who consented will be linked.  Both the linked datasets and the original OHC data will be destroyed by Statistics Canada upon project completion.  

Output: The output will include the proportion of OHC respondents who were linked to the 2016 Census and other datasets, as well as a description of the demographic characteristics (i.e., age, gender and geography) of those who were not successfully linked.  Census enumeration status will also be compared to self-reported Census completion information in the OHC study. Only aggregate estimates that have been vetted for disclosure control will be disseminated.

Businesses in the Life Sciences industries (006-2025)

Businesses in the Life Sciences industries (006-2025) 

Purpose: The goal of this project is to provide a profile of the Life Sciences industry to Health Canada so that it can understand the industry’s economic environment and assess potential impacts arising from the implementation of new regulations. Health Canada will provide a list of names of businesses that they have identified as being part of the subsector medical devices in Life Science Industries, which will be linked to the Business Register and subsequently to the National Accounts Longitudinal Microdata File. The latter database will be used to produce aggregate statistics on revenue and employment.  

Output: Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analyses that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. The output will be provided in a dashboard, showing aggregate statistics of employment and revenue for the industry. This dashboard will be provided to Health Canada and will only be accessible to approved members of the OLRM.

Intensive Rehabilitative Custody and Supervision (IRCS) microdata linkage project with Criminal Justice, Health, Education, Census, and Tax data. (007-2025)

Intensive Rehabilitative Custody and Supervision (IRCS) microdata linkage project with Criminal Justice, Health, Education, Census, and Tax data. (007-2025)

Purpose: The federal Intensive Rehabilitative Custody and Supervision (IRCS) Program is a contribution program with all provinces and territories for the delivery of specialized therapeutic programs and services for youth with mental health needs who are convicted of a serious violent offence. The IRCS program is an important component of correctional supervision of youth in Canada. The main objective of this project is to allow linkage opportunities to identify criminal justice system re-contacts and other outcomes for the IRCS population. Summarized information describing outcomes of youth after participating in IRCS programs, and where appropriate, contrasting with outcomes for non-participant cohorts, has been a critical data gap in terms of evaluating the success of IRCS programs for many years. Working with participating youth corrections programs and Justice Canada, Statistics Canada aims to address this gap in its statistical program on youth corrections by integrating IRCS data with other social data to understand the impacts of the IRCS program. Justice partners and stakeholders as well as the Canadian public will benefit from the results compiled as the information contributes to the creation of evidence-based policy and program development, and thereby contributes to the public interest. These data will help fill the need to inform evidence-driven approaches to crime prevention and programs aimed at reducing recidivism, as well as programs designed for rehabilitation, community integration, and public safety.

Output: Statistics Canada will perform record linkage of these data under established governance and privacy framework, to develop analytical datasets to determine social outcomes of youth after participating in IRCS programs. Results, interpretation, and conclusions from the analysis using the linked data will be with respect to the linked participants and not generalized to the total IRCS population. A report on statistical aggregates will be made available to Justice Canada employees involved in the IRCS project. Only non-confidential aggregated tables, conforming to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act, will be released outside of Statistics Canada. 

Linking Canadian Oral Health Survey (COHS) and Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) data to sociodemographic and socioeconomic variables and health outcomes. (008-2025)

Linking Canadian Oral Health Survey (COHS) and Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) data to sociodemographic and socioeconomic variables and health outcomes. (008-2025)

Purpose: The purpose of the project is to improve understanding of Canadians' oral health, risk factors, and insurance coverage, aiming to inform policy development and monitor oral health trends over time. It supports the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) launched by Health Canada in December 2023, by providing essential data to enhance dental care services across Canada. The findings will aid in the CDCP's effective rollout and evaluation, ensuring equitable access to dental care and addressing regional and socio-economic disparities, ultimately benefiting the public good.

Output: The analytical files, without identifiers, will be made available via secure Statistics Canada access points such as the Federal Research Data Centre (FDRC) and research data centre network (RDC).  Access will only be granted to Statistics Canada employees (including Statistics Canada deemed employees) whose work activities require access following the standard approval process.  

Microdata Linkage for Creation of a Social Surveys Person-Level Sampling Frame (009-2025)

Microdata Linkage for Creation of a Social Surveys Person-Level Sampling Frame (009-2025)

Purpose: The purpose of this linkage project is to produce person-level information instead of dwelling-level information to be used for person-level social survey sampling purposes. This use of microdata linkage provides better-quality, detailed information for small communities and populations, saves time and money, and ensures that person-level social surveys remain accurate, relevant, and cost-efficient.

Output: The data from these linkages are integrated to produce sampling frames for social surveys. None of the statistical information resulting from the linkages will be disseminated.
