PUMF Release Dates: CCHS and GSS cycle 27

Question

Annual 2014 and two year 2013-2014 CCHS data are scheduled for release June, 2015 <http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=3226>. I am presuming that a PUMF will be available. Do we have a release date for that?

Also, is there any PUMF release information for the GSS cycle 27 (2013), which includes social identity and giving, volunteering, and participating <http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/89f0115x/89f0115x2013001-eng.htm#a3>?

Answer
The tentative date for the GSS is June 30th 2015. In regards to the release of the Annual 2014 and two year 2013-2014 CCHS the subject matter confirmed that the PUMF files are usually released in the fall, following the release of the Master and Share files released in June.
