Additional information
Data presented in this interactive dashboard are based on the Trade by Exporter Characteristics - Goods and Trade by Importer Characteristics - Goods program, providing visual insights on characteristics of exporters and importers in non-census metropolitan areas and census metropolitan areas of Canada.
Data have been standardized in the Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMX) format and their metadata have been organized to allow for efficient data linkage. Data will be regularly updated and expanded where possible.
Definitions
- Census metropolitan area (CMA)
- Formed by one or more adjacent municipalities centred on a population centre (known as the core). A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000 of which 50,000 or more must live in the core, based on adjusted data from the Census of Population Program.
- Non-CMA
- An area that is not part of a CMA.
Methodology
The sum of CMA and non-CMA data represents Canada. Therefore, adding the number of trading establishments or trade values of CMAs and non-CMAs produces the national total.
CMAs are classified based on parameters defined by the Census of Population Program. Areas that were reclassified during a census year, transitioning from non-CMA to CMA status, have been accounted for in the data.
Considerations
Users should note potential limitations, including the interpretation of period-to-period changes in the data. Changes to criteria established by the Census of Population Program may influence interpretation across reference years.
The data available for this interactive dashboard are currently accessible only at the CMA and non-CMA levels because of current data availability constraints. This is a notable consideration in the interpretation of the data, influencing the depth and specificity of the insight presented for rural and small town areas of Canada. Expansion of the dataset will be pursued as feasible.
