Canadian Financial Capability Survey

Question
I have a researcher interested in the 2014 Canadian Financial Capability Survey PUMF advertised here:

<http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/150323/dq150323d-eng.htm?cmp=mstatcan>

It mentions it being available on request. I don’t see anything other than the 2008 file on the EFT site, and the DLI release dates page only mentions a 2013 file to be released this Spring. Is this something that has to be acquired outside of the DLI?

Answer

We received the file, but before placing it on the EFT, modifications are made, including staging and renaming files, and running it through a verification tool. The Data Coordinator is done staging the files and should be placing them on the EFT this afternoon. An announcement will be send to the list.
