Canadian Internet Use Survey (CIUS) 2014 PUMF?

Question

Will there a PUMF for the CIUS? And if so, is there an expected release date?

Answer

Note the most recent collection period for CIUS is for 2012. I also check the surveys currently in collection and CIUS is not listed <http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb_internal/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=4432&adm=0&dis=1>

I received the following confirmation from subject matter –

At this point, we do not have any funding to run another iteration of the Canadian Internet Use Survey. We are currently pursuing options to run another iteration but nothing is in place yet – I do not think we would have anything in the field until RY2016 at this point since a redesign would also be necessary to reflect the changes in technology and priorities.

We would plan to include the creation of a PUMF in any dissemination plans for a future CIUS.
