Statistics is the national statistical agency. As such, Statistics carries out hundreds of surveys each year on a wide range of matters, including education.
It is essential to be able to follow students across time and for institutions to understand, for example, the factors affecting enrolment demand at post-secondary institutions. The increased emphasis on accountability for public investment means that it is also important to understand ‘outcomes.’ In order to carry out such studies, Statistics asks all colleges and universities to provide data on students and graduates. Institutions collect and provide to Statistics student identification information (student’s name, student ID number, Social Insurance Number), student contact information (address and telephone number), student demographic characteristics, enrolment information, previous education, and labour force activity. The Federal Statistics Act provides the legal authority for Statistics to obtain access to personal information held by educational institutions. The information may be used only for statistical purposes, and the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act prevent the information from being released in any way that would identify a student.
Students who do not wish to have their information used may ask Statistics to remove their identification and contact information from the national database. Further information on the use of this information can be obtained from Statistics’s website at statcan.gc.ca or by writing:
