- 1. Author’s response to comments on “Progress in survey science and practice: Yesterday-today-tomorrow”Articles and reports: 12-001-X202500100015Description: This rejoinder is arranged as a series of themes or issues, inspired by the original article, and addressed, to varying degrees, in the six discussions. Among the themes: probability sampling and other paradigms in survey science; the role of the national statistical institutes in the growth of survey science; recent breakthroughs in the use of administrative data in statistics production, with multiple data inputs; the research tradition: a finite population and a well-behaved sample; deepened awareness, in recent decades, of the tradition and its ramifications; the theory track and the role of the academic sector; attempts, over time, at resolving problems; imperfections in the data collection, in the realized sample; nonresponse treatment, responsive design, panel surveys; realpolitik in national statistics production: a realistic approach to meet urgent demands for statistical information.Release date: 2025-06-30
- Articles and reports: 12-001-X202500100017Description: In his paper, Särndal is reviewing the scientific aspects of the development of the survey sampling theory. In light of multiple changes in this field, some have called for a new paradigm. Upon careful analysis, Särndal lands on saying that there has been a strong research tradition which is anchored on assumptions about finite populations and feasibility of characterizing them with only a sample. With this framework, there can still be research and change, but the paradigm would essentially remain. In my discussion of this article, after providing precisions on the context of National Statistical Offices (mainly about Statistics Canada), I agree on many points and wonder if it is not a change in methodological paradigm rather than statistical paradigm that we are witnessing and point to some possible ways forward.Release date: 2025-06-30
- Articles and reports: 12-001-X202500100020Description: Carl-Erik Särndal’s essay on the challenges to the probability sample survey paradigm (or research tradition) quotes my 2014 article in this journal, which “impatiently” called for a move to a mixed data (or blended data) sources paradigm. I explain my intent not to downgrade probability surveys but to blend them with administrative records and other sources to improve data quality and relevance. The United States has made strides toward blended data since I wrote my article.Release date: 2025-06-30
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 13-26-0005Description: The Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts (CanCHECs) are a series of population-based microdata linkages. The CanCHECs combine census respondents to the long-form questionnaire with administrative health data and annual postal codes for mailing addresses. These data can be used to examine health outcomes by population characteristics measured by the census long-form sample data. This user guide has been created to help potential data users, including researchers and academics, public health officials, government agencies, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations.Release date: 2025-06-18
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500400005Description: Technological change has led to opportunities and challenges for firms in cultural industries, prompting questions about how these industries have been impacted in Canada. However, there is a lack of information about firms operating in cultural domains. This study attempts to fill this information gap by identifying firms in Canada’s cultural supply chain using administrative data from 2008 to 2020.Release date: 2025-04-23

There are limited data, particularly in a Canadian context, on multimorbidity prevalence and incidence. This study analyzed trends in the prevalence and incidence of multimorbidity and complex multimorbidity (five or more conditions) by sex, age, and neighbourhood income quintile in British Columbia. This study also identified the most prevalent disease combinations.Release date: 2025-03-19

- Articles and reports: 11-522-X202200100012Description: At Statistics Netherlands (SN) for some economic sectors two partly-independent intra-annual turnover index series are available: a monthly series based on survey data and a quarterly series based on value added tax data for the smaller units and re-used survey data for the other units. SN aims to benchmark the monthly turnover index series to the quarterly census data on a quarterly basis. This cannot currently be done because the tax data has a different quarterly pattern: the turnover is relatively large in the fourth quarter of the year and smaller in the first quarter. With the current study we aim to describe this deviating quarterly pattern at micro level. In the past we developed a mixture model using absolute turnover levels that could explain part of the quarterly patterns. Because the absolute turnover levels differ between the two series, in the current study we use a model based on relative quarterly turnover levels within a year.Release date: 2024-03-25

The Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) is a comprehensive source of data that plays a key role in the understanding of the economic behaviour of immigrants. It is the only annual Canadian dataset that allows users to study the characteristics of immigrants to Canada at the time of admission and their economic outcomes and regional (inter-provincial) mobility over a time span of more than 35 years. The IMDB includes Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) administrative records which contain exhaustive information about immigrants who were admitted to Canada since 1952. It also includes data about non-permanent residents who have been issued temporary resident permits since 1980. This report will discuss the IMDB data sources, concepts and variables, record linkage, data processing, dissemination, data evaluation and quality indicators, comparability with other immigration datasets, and the analyses possible with the IMDB.

Release date: 2020-07-20 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 37-20-00012020001Description:
This technical reference guide is intended for users of the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform (ELMLP). The data for the products associated with this release are derived from integrating the Registered Apprenticeship Information System (RAIS) 2008 to 2017 data with other administrative data on earnings. Statistics Canada has derived a series of indicators on educational pathways and labour market outcomes for registered apprentices by select trades, cohorts of apprentices, by sex, for Canada, all provinces, the Atlantic region, and for grouped territories.
Release date: 2020-03-16 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 12-539-XDescription:
This document brings together guidelines and checklists on many issues that need to be considered in the pursuit of quality objectives in the execution of statistical activities. Its focus is on how to assure quality through effective and appropriate design or redesign of a statistical project or program from inception through to data evaluation, dissemination and documentation. These guidelines draw on the collective knowledge and experience of many Statistics Canada employees. It is expected that Quality Guidelines will be useful to staff engaged in the planning and design of surveys and other statistical projects, as well as to those who evaluate and analyze the outputs of these projects.

The mandate of the Analytical Studies Branch (ASB) is to provide high-quality, relevant and timely information on economic, health and social issues that are important to Canadians. The branch strategically makes use of expert knowledge and a large range of statistical sources to describe, draw inferences from, and make objective and scientifically supported deductions about the evolving nature of the Canadian economy and society. Research questions are addressed by applying leading-edge methods, including microsimulation and predictive analytics using a range of linked and integrated administrative and survey data. In supporting greater access to data, ASB linked data are made available to external researchers and policy makers to support evidence-based decision making. Research results are disseminated by the branch using a range of mediums (i.e., research papers, studies, infographics, videos, and blogs) to meet user needs. The branch also provides analytical support and training, feedback, and quality assurance to the wide range of programs within and outside Statistics Canada.
