Divorce rates by year of marriage and by province
Question
A researcher found CANSIM Table 101-6510 (divorce rates by year of marriage and by province), but it is available for 2004 only. She would like the same information for 1988-1991.
I haven’t been able to track down any other years in CANSIM – was it really only done for that one year or is it possible to get it for the earlier years?
Answer 1
There are some historical tables, even though they are very difficult to find as there are no dates given in the CANSIM titles L, see:
http://www5.statcan.gc.ca/subject-sujet/result-resultat?pid=40000&id=40001&lang=eng&type=ARRAY&pageNum=1&more=0
Table 053-0002
Vital statistics, divorces, *Terminated* annual (number), 1970-2003
Table 075-0014 1
Historical statistics, population, by marital status, age group and sex, *Terminated*, 1871-1971
every 10 years (persons)
It will be interesting to see what other tables that subject matter identifies.
Answer 2
Subject matter has clarified that the information for those years (1988 to 1991) is available in the older publications on marriage.
Followup Response
Thanks but unfortunately I’m looking for the divorce rate, not marriages.
I did find the publication Divorce – Shelf Tables (84-213) which has a lot of tables for a variety of different variables, but not year of marriage. It also states that custom tabulations are available, so maybe this will be the way to go.

Request for IMDB custom tab
Question
I have a researcher who is interested in getting some custom tabulations from the IMDB. He needs longitudinal micros level data on individual refugees older than 19 years of age for approximately 5 years since landing.
In order to assist his request, is it possible to get a list of the IMDB variables?
Answer
Below is the response we have received from subject matter:
“Unfortunately, IMDB micro-records are not released and all aggregate statistics are subject to suppression and rounding, in order to prevent the disclosure of identifiable data.
If the researcher wishes to purchase a custom tabulation of aggregate data, please put him/her in touch with us directly.”
Followup Question
If the researcher proceeds with the custom tab, will that data then be made available to all DLI participants? It was my understanding that this is the case but I'm not clear on the process. Does the researcher have to release the data (to me?) for distribution?
Followup Answer
Custom tabs fall under the Open Licence Agreement, for more information please see:

Inquiry re Longitudinal & International Survey of Adults (LISA)
Question
I have a graduate student looking to access both waves 1 & 2 of the Longitudinal & International Survey of Adults (LISA) data.
I'm not seeing where there are PUMFs available, nor anything in the RDC. Are there data available, or plans to make them accessible either in PUMF or restricted access?
At this time because it is a longitudinal survey there will not be any PUMFs. All data is accessible via the RDCs
The data is available through the RDCs:
http://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/rdc/data
There is also a webinar on LISA that the DLI previously hosted, you may be interested in viewing the presentation materials available here

DLI EFT
The Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) program has reorganized its collection holdings and undertaking a renaming of the folder names in the file path structure on the EFT. Public Use Microdata Files (PUMFs) are now available in the MAD_PUMF_FMGD_DAM folder (navigate to top hierarchy to access) and organized in a bilingual structure, based on the survey record number and survey acronyms, as follows:
New structure
\2620_SFS_ESF
\3107_LFS_EPA
\3217CHS_ESC
\..
\3107_LFS_EPA
\3217CHS_ESC
\..
A folder directory (Readme-Key_Lisezmoi-clé.xls), identifying what the survey acronyms mean, is available in the folder of the new safe.
