DLI Nesstar search

DID YOU KNOW!

The Nesstar search allows users to search surveys or statistical products for both public-use microdata files (PUMF) and public master files (http://www120.statcan.gc.ca/dli/e1/stu). It also allows the search of variables(http://www120.statcan.gc.ca/dli/e2/var).

The DLI team is pleased to announce that there have been further updates to the Nesstar search!

SEARCH TIPS!

Use Boolean operators (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) to expand or narrow your search results.
Note: the default search is AND, and Boolean operators must be capitalized.

Try using phrase search “” (i.e. “users of SLID data”) in your query.

To expand your search results, use truncation (i.e. immigr* -> immigration, immigrated, immigrating)

FEEDBACK!

We are always making improvements to the Nesstar search and welcome your feedback!
