LSIC Synthetic Files

Question

There's a researcher asking about synthetic files for the longitudinal survey of immigrants to Canada. I've found several discussions in the archives, but no definitive answer regarding their status. Can anyone tell me if synthetic files were ever produced for LSIC?

Answer

LSIC created one synthetic file for wave 1 (wave 2 and 3 will not have a synthetic file). This file is not available to the DLI and does not reside in the RDC either. The RDC never asked for the file, although if they did ask perhaps they could get a copy?

Sorry - only custom tabulations at a fee will be available for this survey for members of the DLI.
