This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.
The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:
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.
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 reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.
Data-sharing agreements
To reduce respondent 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, Québec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.
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

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
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.
1. Verify or provide the business or organization's legal and operating name and correct where needed.
Note: Legal name modifications should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.
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.
2. Verify or provide the contact information of the designated business or organization contact person for this questionnaire and correct where needed.
Note: The designated contact person is the person who should receive this questionnaire. The designated contact person may not always be the one who actually completes the questionnaire.
3. Verify or provide the current operational status of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.
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.

The protection of sensitive data is of the utmost importance to Statistics Canada; it is a fundamental value that is deeply ingrained within the agency's culture, as is the commitment to providing Canadians with equitable and timely access to data and analysis. This aligns with the mandate to publish statistics about Canada's economy and society, as required by the Statistics Act.
Providing limited access to advance release information is an important part of the agency's practices for a number of reasons, including
This policy is updated regularly to ensure its continued relevance.
1.1 This policy took effect on May 15, 2013. It was updated on May 6, 2021.

4.3.1 The agency has established a rigorous formal protocol for the advance sharing of information with third-party organizations to ensure the data's security.
4.3.2 Data are shared only on a "need to know" basis. That is, it is deemed that the intended recipient must have advance access to the dataset to perform their official duties.
4.3.3 The following are key steps in the advance release of sensitive data:
See Appendix A: List of sensitive datasets.
See Appendix B: Procedures for advance release of sensitive data.
See Appendix C: Procedures for advance release for validation or information purposes.
See Appendix D: Procedures for advance release under a shared governance agreement.

Furthermore, individuals must have been briefed on data security and have signed an Acknowledgement of Security Requirements for Protected Information form.
4.4.2 The Communications Branch is responsible for maintaining the security of all records, including Acknowledgement of Security Requirements for Protected Information forms, related to third party access to data before official release.
4.4.3 In the case of sensitive data, the Communications Branch must provide the Chief Statistician with a list of all the agreements with participating organizations and the name and position title of each individual who will have access to sensitive data, as well as update the Chief Statistician with respect to changes to agreements.
4.4.4 In certain situations, microdata files or confidential aggregates from which datasets are obtained may be shared with an external recipient as part of an advance release agreement, as long as one of the following conditions is met:
4.4.5 All sharing of advance datasets is through authorized channels approved by the Chief Statistician.
4.4.6 Organizations that access sensitive data prior to official release must also undertake to conduct annual reviews to ensure compliance and maintain up-to-date records (e.g., staffing changes) and to conduct an annual review to ensure compliance. Organizations must also commit to conducting a fulsome investigation in the event of a real or suspected breach of this policy. If founded, receiving organizations commit to implementing appropriate corrective measures in a timely manner, where warranted.
4.4.7 Any breach of the advance release process is considered a breach of this policy, and Statistics Canada senior management, including the Chief Security Officer and the Strategic Management Committee, must be informed of the breach. Senior management will be responsible for determining the appropriate course of action, which could include revoking advance release agreements with individuals or organizations. See Section 6 for more detail.

Administrative data refer to information that is collected by other organizations and departments for their own purposes, and is sought, at the micro or aggregate level, by Statistics Canada in respect of objects of the Statistics Act.
Analytical products for release include a wide range of texts (and associated graphics, tables and other quantitative results), such as those that are intended to be accessible to a broad audience, those focusing on a single dataset or data series, and those intended for a scholarly audience and include more complex methods and reasoning and make extensive reference to the broader research literature.
Briefing includes the sharing of information with an external partner to allow that partner to
Business day means any day from Monday to Friday, with the exception of statutory holidays. The Daily is not published from December 25 to January 2.
Confidential aggregates mean information that could directly or indirectly identify a person, business or organization.
Data validation is the review of data to ensure their accuracy and quality. Individuals who are not employees (or who are not deemed employees) of Statistics Canada and who can help Statistics Canada validate data can have access to those data prior to official release, according to procedures outlined in the policy. In such cases, subject-matter divisions are responsible for proving that the individuals in question are qualified and in a position to validate the data, and that their feedback will help Statistics Canada improve the accuracy and quality of the data.
Dataset means non-confidential aggregated data or microdata, or statistical aggregates obtained from microdata, an administrative file or a combination of both. A dataset is new if it is from a newly instituted statistical program, or if it is from a previously unreleased iteration of an existing statistical program. New datasets exclude the following:
Daily text refers to the summary intended for publication in The Daily to communicate significant findings of potential interest to Canadians.
Final dataset means that the dataset is considered ready for official release.
In confidence is to be interpreted as prohibiting communication to a third party of any information related to the statistical findings.
Information products are the compilation of results from Statistics Canada activities, including non-confidential data files, databases, public use microdata files, tables (including Common Output Data Repository tables), graphs and maps. Information products usually require a catalogue number and can be made available in either print or electronic media. There are two categories of information products: those based on new, not-yet-released data, and those based on previously released data.
Sensitive data, as designated and approved by the Chief Statistician, include key economic indicators and releases. The Strategic Management Committee recommends the list of releases classified as sensitive to the Chief Statistician.
Media contacts are professional staff delegated by senior management and identified to the Communications Branch, to provide explanations and interpretations of statistics.
Microdata file means a structured file containing confidential information for individual people, businesses or organizations.
Need to know, according to the Standard on Security Screening, is a criterion used by the custodian(s) of sensitive information, assets or facilities to establish, prior to disclosure or providing access, that the intended recipient must have access to perform their official duties.
Official release vehicles are dissemination channels that have been approved by the Chief Statistician as official for the purposes of communicating new data products to Canadians. These channels are easily accessible and visible and ensure equitable access to the agency's statistical products. The Daily is one of Statistics Canada's official release vehicles.
Real-time data are statistics that are made ready for publication almost as soon as they are collected. Crowdsourcing is an example of such data.
Secure transmission means ensuring that the protected information is transmitted in a format that can be accessed only by the designated individuals of the selected organization.
A shared governance agreement is a formal agreement that establishes the terms and conditions of a collaboration between Statistics Canada and other organizations for the collection and production of statistics.
Spokespersons are individuals designated by the Chief Statistician to respond on behalf of the agency to media enquiries on cross-cutting or program issues.
The Daily is one of Statistics Canada's official release vehicles. It comprises one or more announcements called releases, which can be major or minor. Major releases usually contain important information for the Canadian public and provide a national, regional or industrial perspective. They generally include tables and charts to support the information described in the text. Minor releases usually focus on a particular industry or subject and provide a brief overview of the data. They may include tables and charts to support the information described in the text.
Validation dataset means that the dataset is not yet final and, as such, is not considered ready for release. Data verification is still ongoing.
