  • 2. Canadian Financial Capability Survey, 2008 - Custom Tabulations Service
    18C0001
    Description:

    The survey was conducted with the cooperation and support of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, Finance Canada and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. This is the first Canadian Financial Capability Survey (CFCS). The need for this survey has been brought about by changing economic conditions, the variety and complexity of financial products available and the need to establish baseline data. The CFCS was conducted between February and May 2009 with the objective to develop a statistical database providing estimates surrounding the issues of financial capability. The intention of the survey is to collect information that will illuminate the degree of knowledge that Canadians have concerning financial decision-making. Specifically, the survey will shed light on Canadians' knowledge, abilities and behaviour concerning financial decision-making. In other words, how Canadians understand their financial situation, the financial services available to them and their plans for the future. The survey is designed to collect information surrounding respondents' approaches to day-to-day money management and budgeting, longer term money management and general financial planning. Information for the survey was collected from Canadians 18 years of age and older in the ten provinces.

    The fundamental objective of the Canadian Financial Capability Survey (CFCS) is to gain a greater understanding of the financial knowledge, preferences, and financial needs of Canadians. In particular the survey will collect information on Canadians' financial knowledge and understanding, their financial skills (ability to apply knowledge and make financial decisions), and their financial responsibility (behaviour in financial matters).

    The information obtained from the CFCS will help governments and industry better understand the knowledge and behaviours of Canadians with respect to participation in financial service markets and in various government programs designed to facilitate financial planning for education and retirement. For example, the Registered Education Savings Program (RESP) Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and programs such as the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) / Quebec Pension Plan (QPP).
