CTUMS 2008 Cycle 1 and CCHS 2007

Question

Do we have a date when the PUMF for the CTUMS 2008 Cycle 1 will be released to DLI? (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/090119/dq090119b-eng.htm)




Also, could you please confirm that the CCHS 2007 is still due to be released this summer (and perhaps a more specific date)?

Answer


The PUMF for CTUMS 2008 Cycle 1 was released to the DLI some time ago, but the author division subsequently found there were problems with the bootstrap weight files so we were asked not to load it. I asked for an update just now, and was told that they are still correcting the bootstrap weight files. However, they said that we could go ahead and load all the other files for now and they will send us the bootstrap weight files separately once they are corrected. Jackie is loading the files as we speak and I will announce them as soon as they are available on the sites.

As for the CCHS 2007, the author division confirmed that "end of summer 2009" is still the anticipated release date (they cannot provide a more accurate date at this point).
