Previous release

Data for 2010 have been added to the Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD). This databank now spans 29 years, from 1982 to 2010, and contains information about individuals and census families.

The LAD consists of a 20% longitudinal sample of Canadian taxfilers and provides researchers and analysts with a tool for studying the changes in income experienced by individuals and their families. The LAD contains a wide variety of income and demographic variables such as employment income, self-employment income, Registered Retirement Savings Plan contributions, alimony, age, sex, and census family composition. Its large sample ensures reliable data for Canada, the provinces, census metropolitan areas, and some subprovincial regions, based on aggregations of postal codes.

The LAD also contains information from the Longitudinal Immigration Database. It covers immigrants landed between 1980 and 2009 and provides information on their key characteristics at landing.

Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number survey number4107.

Custom tabulations including 2010 data (Catalogue number13C0019, various prices) are now available.
