I note that there a number of data tables with the results.  Will the survey be available as a PUMF and/or in the RDCs?

Answer:
The Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) 2017 is expected to be available in the RDCs by the end of 2018 or early 2019. The file is also expected to be released through RTRA in late winter 2019.

Unfortunately, there are currently no plans to develop a PUMF for CSD 2017. Earlier releases of the Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) are the Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) and Health and Activity Survey: Household Component (HALS). The last time a PUMF was created was for the 2006 PALS. In all, the following PUMFs available through the DLI: PALS 2006, PALS 2001,HALS 1991 and HALS 1986.
