Hi, my name is Shivam and I am a job-seeker. When I decided to make a career change, it was hard to find good resources.

Luckily I was able to get some good information from Statistics Canada. Their wealth of free data includes information about job vacancies in different industries, with information about unemployment and job availability.

You can find data about how people with various levels of education make decisions about their careers, and see the career prospects for postsecondary graduates. Of interest to job-seekers, you can find out about how job quality in Canada is assessed. You can also see how many people are in each profession.

The data is available on the StatCan website. Check it out!

Hi, my name is Marty and I'm pretty new to parenting. My daughter is 3 years old and her arrival definitely changed my life! It has been so much fun, but in the beginning there sure was a lot to learn.

StatCan has lots of free data available which can help new parents like me. For example, you can find data about child care in Canada, employment patterns in families with children, and balancing family and work. They even have data about the diverse cultural experiences of girls in Canada, and what it's like to be an official languages minority.

On a lighter note, there's information about the physical activity of kids - like my little daughter, who loves gymnastics! Check it out!

Is it time to start planning for retirement? - Transcript

(The Statistics Canada symbol and Canada wordmark appear on screen with the title: "Is it time to start planning for retirement? Find out how our data can be useful for you")

Hi, my name is Jane and I am planning to retire later this year.

Retirement! It’s a big decision to make, and there are many things that need to be considered. For instance, when exactly is the right time for you to retire, and what are all the things you need to plan for retirement? Those are the questions we may ask ourselves.

If you are looking for more information to help you with your retirement decisions, Statistics Canada is a great source of free data. For example, they have data about tax planning related to older couples. There’s also data about types of housing and life satisfaction among Canadians of retirement age and beyond.

Women might be interested to hear that they even have data specifically about us, including information about life expectancy, living arrangements, and social participation.

If you’re thinking about retirement, check it out!

Is your motto "better safe than sorry"? - Transcript

(The Statistics Canada symbol and Canada wordmark appear on screen with the title: "Is your motto 'better safe than sorry'? Find out how our data can be useful for you")

Hi, my name is Fabrizio and I've been a pretty safety-conscious person my whole life. I really care about making things safe for my family and all those around me – but when it comes to safety outside of the office, the rules aren’t so clear.

Turns out there are great free resources available from Statistics Canada. The StatCan website has data on pretty much everything including safety in public and private places, dangers like cyberstalking, health-related safety such as sun safety and ultraviolet radiation protection, and even Canadians’ perceptions of personal safety and crime.

The data even told me about things I never thought to worry about! You know, like environmental issues including radon testing. Well, better safe than sorry.

If you're safety-conscious like me, check it out!

Hi, my name is Elizabeth. I’m a Canadian tourist.

My boyfriend and I will be heading on a round-the-world trip which is going to last a whole year! Our first destination is Japan, to try to catch the cherry blossoms for spring. We plan to go to lots of other countries after that.

I discovered that on the Statistics Canada website, there’s a ton of data that is helpful for tourists like us. There’s also information about the foreign tourists who visit Canada, such as how many come and which countries they come from. You can see how much the average Canadian tourist abroad spends per diem, and how many days the average tourist trip lasts.

There are also statistics about where Canadians travel. For example, you can find out the top 15 states in the United States which we visit the most often.

StatCan data is a great free resource for tourists. Check it out!
