Question
Is it possible to purchase block-face data?
There is an area of Montreal which is currently “gentrifying” – but it is part of an former industrial area and the DA is almost the entire CT – so the students from Urban Planning are hoping to get shape-files and block face data since 1996. Possible? Expensive??
Answer
I spoke with an Account-Executive and a Custom Product Consultant about your question and they indicated that it may be possible to purchase block-face data as a custom service if the area of interest has a population of 100 or more. The minimum cost would be $1200. Shape files would not be available but a representative point file could be provided. Please let me know if the students wish to look into this custom service option and I will refer you to an Account-Executive in our Montreal Regional Office.

Open & Closed Mortgage Data
Question
A student here is looking for data on the number of open and closed mortgages issued per year for some period of time. CANSIM appears to have nothing; neither does CMHC. Any ideas?
Answer
The Income Statistics Division does not have this data in their holdings. They indicated that the data might be available through the Bank of Canada. There may also be relevant data in the CMHC's NHA loan approval system and Conventional Lending Survey.
If it isn't available there, you might want to search industry sources to see if the figures have been published there. The CMHC Library might also be able to provide some suggestions. They can be reached at (613) 748-2367 or toll-free at 1-800-668-2642 (ask for the library).
