  • 1. Quantile balancing inverse probability weighting for non-probability samples
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X202500200005
    Description: The use of non-probability data sources for statistical purposes and for official statistics has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, statistical inference based on non-probability samples is made more difficult by nature of their biasedness and lack of representativity. In this paper we propose quantile balancing inverse probability weighting estimator (QBIPW) for non-probability samples. We apply the idea of Harms and Duchesne (2006) allowing the use of quantile information in the estimation process to reproduce known totals and the distribution of auxiliary variables. We discuss the estimation of the QBIPW probabilities and its variance. Our simulation study has demonstrated that the proposed estimators are robust against model mis-specification and, as a result, help to reduce bias and mean squared error. Finally, we applied the proposed methods to estimate the share of job vacancies aimed at Ukrainian workers in Poland using an integrated set of administrative and survey data about job vacancies.

  • 2. Performance of hierarchical Bayes small area estimators using noninformative and informative priors with an application to the Canadian Labor Force Survey
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X202500200010
    Description: In this paper, we study the performance of hierarchical Bayes (HB) small area estimators using noninformative and informative priors. We apply the Bayesian models of You and Chapman (2006) and You (2021) to the Canadian Labor Force Survey (LFS) data and evaluate the impact of the priors on the HB estimators. A Bayesian model comparison and simulation study are also conducted. Our results indicate that a correct informative prior can lead to very good results, and noninformative priors can also perform very well. Incorrect informative priors can lead to poor results in terms of large bias and large coefficient of variation (CV). Noninformative priors are recommended in practice for HB small area estimation unless correctly specified informative priors are available. Informative priors are particularly useful when the number of small areas is relatively small.

  • 5. Portrait of the South Asian Populations in Canada: Diversity and Socioeconomic Outcomes
    Articles and reports: 89-657-X2025007
    Description: The focus of this portrait is the analysis of the ethnocultural diversity and socioeconomic outcomes of the South Asian populations in Canada. The portrait uses data from the Census of Population (2001 to 2021), the 2011 National Household Survey, the 2025 Labour Force Survey, and the 2024 Canadian Income Survey. An intersectional approach is used to explore the relationships between multiple diversity measures.

  • 6. Lessons from Canadian exporters during the U.S. 2018/2019 steel and aluminum tariffs
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202501100004
    Description: With rising barriers to trade with the United States it is important to understand how Canadian firms adjust to tariffs. To provide insight, this paper examines the effects of US tariffs imposed on Canadian steel and aluminum products between June 1, 2018 and May 20, 2019.

  • 7. Non-Permanent Residents Missed in the 2021 Census
    Articles and reports: 91F0015M2025006
    Description: This article examines the missed rates of non-permanent residents (NPRs) in the 2021 Census using data from the Census Undercoverage Study (CUS) and administrative data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The study shows that the missed rate of NPRs in the 2021 Census decreased compared to the previous census, and that certain characteristics of NPRs are correlated with being omitted.

  • 9. Virtual care use in Canada: Variation across sociodemographic and health-related factors
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202501100002
    Description: The COVID-19 pandemic changed how Canadians accessed health care, increasing their use of virtual services. While virtual care use decreased after the pandemic lockdowns, it continues to play an important role in health care delivery. The main objective of this study is to provide recent information on virtual care use in Canada and whether it varies by sociodemographic and health-related characteristics.

  • 10. An overview of the immigrant population born in the United States living in Canada
    Articles and reports: 89-657-X2025008
    Description: This article first highlights historical trends in the migration of U.S.-born individuals to Canada. It then focuses on U.S.-born immigrants (herein referred to as U.S. immigrants), since they represent the largest portion of the U.S.-born population living in Canada. The article outlines the sociodemographic characteristics of the U.S.-born population in the 2021 Census of population and delves into its labour market and economic outcomes. In particular, the outcomes of the core working-age population (25 to 54 years old) of U.S. immigrants are compared with those of Canadian-born non-immigrants; the total immigrant population; and immigrants from two other G7 countries of birth that are also among the top sources of immigrants to Canada and share English or French as their official language, namely the United Kingdom and France.

    Description: What is it that helps someone transition from homeless to housed? We’re looking at new analysis of data from the Canadian Housing Survey to explore exactly that. In conversation with Peter Tilley, the CEO of the Ottawa Mission, and Jeff Randle, Chief of the Housing Need Project section at Statistics Canada, we’re asking why homelessness (and homelessness data!) is more complex than you might think, what factors most often led to regaining housing, and why housing can be challenging to maintain even after it’s been regained.

    Description: Using data from the Labour Force Survey and the Survey of Employment, Payrolls and Hours, this study examines the impacts of tariff-related trade uncertainty on the Canadian labour market. The characteristics of jobs and workers most vulnerable to U.S. tariffs are explored. Impacts on employment in industries dependent on U.S. demand for Canadian exports, as well as Canadian regions with a higher share of jobs in industries dependent on U.S. demand, are also examined. In addition, this study uses adjusted concepts to compare the unemployment rates in Canada and the United States.

    Description: This technical guide presents the data sources and methodology for the Industrial Product Price Index (IPPI). The IPPI measures monthly price changes for major products sold by Canadian manufacturers, covering goods destined for both domestic and export consumption. Its primary function is to support the Canadian System of Macroeconomic Accounts, where it is used for deflation in the calculation of monthly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Supply and Use Tables (SUT). The index also serves as an important indicator of manufacturing sector performance and is useful for price analysis and contract escalation.

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides four options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.

  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

  • The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.
