Labour Force Survey (LFS) - June 2019
This public use microdata file contains non-aggregated data for a wide variety of variables collected from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). The LFS collects monthly information on the labour market activities of Canada's working age population. This product is for users who prefer to do their own analysis by focusing on specific subgroups in the population or by cross-classifying variables that are not in our catalogued products. The Labour Force Survey estimates are based on a sample, and are therefore subject to sampling variability. Estimates for smaller geographic areas, industries, occupations or cross tabulations will have more variability. For an explanation of sampling variability of estimates, and how to use standard errors to assess this variability, consult the Data Quality section in the Guide to the Labour Force Survey.

PUMF Yearly Subscription Fee
Question:
Under the Statistics Canada Open License, there is no cost to access to the PUMFs. In this link about PUMFs (updated today), it states there is a $5000 subscription fee. I'm confused, why there is still a subscription fee?
Answer:
The yearly subscription fee mentioned is for access to the PUMF collection – not for individual PUMFs.

New Release - Census 2016 Hierarchical File
We are pleased to inform you that the following product is now available.
Census of Population, 2016 Hierarchical File
Statistics Canada conducts the Census of Population in order to develop a statistical portrait of Canada and Canadians on one specific day. The census is designed to provide information about people and housing units in Canada by their demographic, social and economic characteristics.
Statistics Canada reinstated the mandatory long-form census in time for the 2016 Census of Population. As such, a sample of approximately 25% of Canadian households received a long-form questionnaire. All other households received a short-form questionnaire.
The Census of Population is a reliable basis for the estimation of the population of the provinces, territories and municipal areas. The information collected is related to federal and provincial legislative measures and provides a basis for the distribution of federal transfer payments. The census also provides information about the characteristics of the population and its housing within small geographic areas and for small population groups to support planning, administration, policy development and evaluation activities of governments at all levels, as well as data users in the private sector.
Clients: Federal government, provincial and territorial governments, municipal governments; libraries; educational institutions; researchers and academics; private industry; business associations labour organisations; ethnic and cultural groups; private citizens; public interest groups are among the users of census data.

Census Tract Pairs (Journey to Work)
Question:
I have a researcher looking for a dataset that would contain a list of pairs of Census tracts where one CT represents a person’s home location and the other their work location, along with the number of people who make that specific commute (based on the Census Journey to Work questions). Is this data available, perhaps as a custom tabulation?
Answer:
We’ve received the following response from the regional office:
“Yes it is possible. It would be CT of residence by CT of work within a CMA or CA.
He is looking for specifics CMAs/CAs and for other variables?”

Canadian Community Health Survey PUMF 2017-2018
Question:
Given that the CCHS PUMF for 2015/2016 was only released earlier this year, the researcher realizes that the PUMF for 2017-2018 is probably not in the very near future, but would like to know if there is any estimated timeframe for its release.
Answer:
We do not have an official release date for the CCHS 2017-2018 PUMF. Last I had spoken to subject matter, they were in the collection stage and didn’t expect to have anything released for another 1-2 years.
We will be updating our list of expected releases on the website shortly!
