Introduction

The Statistics Canada SDMX REST web services provide access to the time series made available on the Statistics Canada's website in a structured form. It complies with the SDMX standard. This service is accessible using an HTTP request.

The time series available through Statistics Canada's Common Output Data Repository (CODR) are presented in a form of Canadian indicators/cubes (short-term, structural, specific, etc.) usually representing a set of series/vectors. An indicator/cube is broken down into as many elementary series as there are possible crossover of variables/dimensions. For example, 50 industries * 13 provinces/territories = 650 different series/vectors in CODR.

The SDMX web service allows access:

to the values of the series
structural metadata describing the characteristics of the series
is free of charge

It is possible to quickly extract data using the CODR cube identifier and vectors. In these cases the user must have previously noted the CODR cube identifier or vector identifier from the Statistics Canada website.

What is SDMX?

The Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange initiative is sponsored by seven institutions (the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the European Central Bank (ECB), Eurostat, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United Nations (UN) and the World Bank) to foster standards for the exchange of statistical information. The first version of the standard is an ISO standard (ISO/Technical Specification 17369:2005). It offers an information model for the representation of statistical data and metadata, as well as several formats to represent this model (SDMX-EDI, SDMX-JSON, SDMX-CSV and several SDMX-ML formats). It also proposes a standard way of implementing web services, including the use of registries.

The SDMX information model in a nutshell

The list below tells you everything you need to know about the SDMX information model in order for us to start developing an application based on the SDMX standard:

Descriptor concepts: In order to make sense of some statistical data, we need to know the concepts associated with them. For example, on its own the figure 1.3312 is pretty meaningless, but if we know that this is an exchange rate for the CDN dollar against the US dollar on November 19th, 2019, it starts to make more sense.
Packaging structure: Statistical data can be grouped together at the following levels: the observation level (the measurement of some phenomenon); the series level (the measurement of some phenomenon over time, usually at regular intervals); the group level (a group of series – a well-known example being the sibling group, a set of series which are identical, except for the fact that they are measured with different frequencies); and the dataset level (made up of several groups, to cover a specific statistical domain for instance). The descriptor concepts mentioned in point 1 can be attached at various levels in this hierarchy.
Dimensions and attributes: There are two types of descriptor concepts: dimensions, which both identify and describe the data, and attributes, which are purely descriptive.
Keys: Dimensions are grouped into keys, which allow the identification of a particular set of data (a series, for example). The key values are attached at the series level and given in a fixed sequence. Conventionally, frequency is the first descriptor concept and the other concepts are assigned an order for that particular dataset. Partial keys can be attached to groups.
Code lists: Every possible value for a dimension is defined in a code list. Each value on that list is given a language-independent abbreviation (code) and a language-specific description. Attributes are represented sometimes by codes, and sometimes by free-text values. Since the purpose of an attribute is solely to describe and not to identify the data, this is not a problem.
Data Structure Definitions: A Data Structure Definition (key family) specifies a set of concepts, which describe and identify a set of data. It tells us which concepts are dimensions (identification and description) and which are attributes (just description), and it gives the attachment level for each of these concepts on the basis of the packaging structure (dataset, group, series or observation), as well as their status (mandatory or conditional). It also specifies which code lists provide possible values for the dimensions and gives possible values for the attributes, either as code lists or free text fields.

The various SDMX-ML formats

SDMX-ML supports various use cases and, therefore, defines several XML formats. For the purpose of this guide, the following two formats will be used:

The Structure Definition format : This format will be used to define the structure (concepts, code lists, dimensions, attributes, etc.) of the key families.
The Compact format: This format will be used to define the data file. It is not a generic format (it is specific to a Data Structure Definition), but it is designed to support validation and is much more compact so as to support the exchange of large datasets.

The SDMX information model is much richer than this limited introduction, however the above should be sufficient to understand the basics of this web service. For additional information, please refer to the SDMX documentation.

SDMX Data (cube) Web Service

All the data stored in CODR can be retrieved using the query string described below.

protocol://wsEntryPoint/resource/flowRef/key?parameters

where parameters are defined as such:

startPeriod=value&endPeriod=value&firstNObservations=value&lastNObservations=value&detail=value

SDMX Data (cube) Web Service Syntax definition

protocol

The web service is available over http and https.

wsEntryPoint

The web service entry point is available at the same location of the sdmx data and metadata entry point.

resource

The resource for queries is dataflow.

flowRef

A reference to the dataflow describing the data that needs to be returned.

The syntax is the identifier of the agency maintaining the dataflow, followed by the identifier of the dataflow, followed by the dataflow version, separated by a ,(comma).

For example: AGENCY_ID, FLOW_ID, VERSION

If the parameter contains only one of these 3 elements, it is considered to be the identifier of the dataflow. The value for the identifier of the agency maintaining the dataflow will default to all, while the value for the dataflow version will default to latest.

If the string contains only two of these 3 elements, they are considered to be the identifier of the agency maintaining the dataflow and the identifier of the dataflow. The value for the dataflow version will default to latest.

key

The combination of dimensions allows statistical data to be uniquely identified. Such a combination is known as a series key in SDMX and this is what is needed in the key parameter.

Let's say for example that exchange rates can be uniquely identified by the following:

the frequency at which they are measured (e.g.: on a daily basis - code D),
the currency being measured (e.g.: US dollar - code USD),
the currency against which a currency is being measured (e.g.: Euro - code EUR),
the type of exchange rates (Foreign exchange reference rates - code SP00) and
the series variation (such as average or standardized measure for given frequency, code A).

In order to build the series key, you need to take the value for each of the dimensions (in the order in which the dimensions are defined in the DSD) and separate them with a .(dot). The series key for the example above therefore becomes: D.USD.EUR.SP00.A

Wildcarding is supported by omitting the value for the dimension to be wildcarded. For example, the following series key can be used to retrieve the data for all daily currencies against the euro: D..EUR.SP00.A

The OR operator is supported using the + (plus) character. For example, the following key can be used to retrieve the exchange rates against the euro for both the US dollar and the Japanese Yen: D.USD+JPY.EUR.SP00.A

You can of course combine wildcarding and the OR operator. For example, the following key can be used to retrieve daily or monthly exchange rates of any currency against the euro: D+M..EUR.SP00.A

startPeriod & endPeriod

It is possible to define a date range for which observations should be returned by using the startPeriod and/or endPeriod parameters. The values should be given according to the syntax defined in ISO 8601 or as SDMX reporting periods. The format will vary depending on the frequency.

The supported formats are:

YYYY for annual data (e.g.: 2013).
YYYY-MM for monthly data (e.g.: 2013-01).
YYYY-MM-DD for daily data (e.g.: 2013-01-01).

Detail

Using the detail parameter, it is possible to specify the desired amount of information to be returned by the web service.

Possible options are:

full: The data (series and observations) and the attributes will be returned. This is the default.

firstNObservations & lastNObservations

Using the firstNObservations and/or lastNObservations parameters, it is possible to specify the maximum number of observations to be returned for each of the matching series, starting from the first observation (firstNObservations) or counting back from the most recent observation (lastNObservations).

SDMX Data (vector) Web Service

All the data stored in CODR can be retrieved using the query string described below.

 protocol://wsEntryPoint/resource/vector?parameters

where parameters are defined as such:

startPeriod=value&endPeriod=value&firstNObservations=value&lastNObservations=value&detail=value

SDMX Data (vector) Web Service Syntax definition

protocol

The web service is available over http and https.

wsEntryPoint

The web service entry point is available at the same location of the sdmx data and metadata entry point.

resource

The resource for vector queries is vector.

vector

The vector allows statistical time series to be identified. Vectors are unique identifiers to a time series of data points. (i.e. v123456) They do not change over time. Given the vector number does not change, users can still use the same vectors as shortcuts to their data points of interest.

startPeriod & endPeriod

The supported formats are:

YYYY for annual data (e.g.: 2013).
YYYY-MM for monthly data (e.g.: 2013-01).
YYYY-MM-DD for daily data (e.g.: 2013-01-01).

Detail

Using the detail parameter, it is possible to specify the desired amount of information to be returned by the web service.

Possible options are:

full: The data (series and observations) and the attributes will be returned. This is the default.

firstNObservations & lastNObservations: Using the firstNObservations and/or lastNObservations parameters, it is possible to specify the maximum number of observations to be returned for each of the matching series, starting from the first observation (firstNObservations) or counting back from the most recent observation (lastNObservations).

SDMX Data (vector) Web Service Examples

4. Retrieve the data for the series (vectors) 466670 (Canada / Male / All ages). Table 17100005 is presented in full details in appendix 1.

Content negotiation

Using the HTTP content negotiation mechanism, you can select the representation to be returned and you can also instruct the service to compress the data to be returned.

Format selection

The following data formats are supported by the web service:

Data formats:
- SDMX-ML 2.1 Generic Data format:
  application/vnd.sdmx.genericdata+xml;version=2.1. This is the default for data queries.
- SDMX-ML 2.1 Structure Specific Data format:
  application/vnd.sdmx.structurespecificdata+xml;version=2.1
- SDMX-JSON: application/vnd.sdmx.data+json;version=1.0.0-wd
- CSV: text/csv
Metadata formats:
- SDMX-ML Structure format: application/vnd.sdmx.structure+xml;version=2.1

For additional information about the various SDMX-ML formats, please refer to the SDMX documentation.

Generic mime types (application/json, application/xml) are also supported but they will always point to the most recent version of the SDMX formats supported by these web services. That version will change in the future, whenever new versions of the various SDMX formats are made available.

Is it therefore highly recommended that implementers use one of the specific mime types above rather than a generic one, to avoid issues when new versions of the formats are released.

Output compression

You can also enable data compression using the Accept-Encoding HTTP header field. Compressed messages are typically significantly smaller than uncompressed messages, which can lead to improvements when transferring large amount data over the network.

Status codes

The web service returns the following HTTP status codes.

HTTP status codes
Code	Status	Description
200	OK	Your query could be successfully processed and the data have been returned.
304	No changes	No changes since the timestamp supplied in the `If-Modified-Since` header.
400	Syntax error	If there is a syntactic or semantic issue with the parameters you supplied, a 400 HTTP status code will be returned.
404	No results found	A 404 HTTP status code will be returned if there are no results matching the query.
406	Not Acceptable	If you ask for a resource representation that we don't support, a 406 HTTP status code will be returned. See the section about European Central Bank content negotiation, to view the supported representations.
500	Internal Server Error	When there is an issue on our side, a 500 HTTP status code will be returned. Feel free to try again later or to contact our support hotline.
501	Not implemented	This web service offers a subset of the functionality offered by the SDMX RESTful web service specification. When you use a feature that we have not yet implemented, a 501 HTTP status code will be returned.
503	Service unavailable	If our web service is temporarily unavailable, a 503 HTTP status code will be returned.

Useful tips

The SDMX Technical Working Group publishes a list of tips and tricks for web service clients, which is well worth reading.

The SDMX Technical Working Group has also published a cheat sheet (PDF, 83 KB) which summarises, in 2 A4 pages, the main points of the SDMX 2.1 RESTful API.

If the documentation does not contain the information you require, or if you have any general comments or feedback regarding our web service, please contact us.

All sample queries in this tutorial can also be executed using command-line tools such as curl or wget:

wget -O data.xml \
--header="Accept:application/vnd.sdmx.structurespecificdata+xml;version=2.1" \
https://sdw-wsrest.ecb.europa.eu/service/data/EXR/M.NOK.EUR.SP00.A
curl -k -o data.xml \
--header "Accept:application/vnd.sdmx.structurespecificdata+xml;version=2.1" \
https://sdw-wsrest.ecb.europa.eu/service/data/EXR/M.NOK.EUR.SP00.A

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Canada 2022 Version 1.0

Release date: January 27, 2022

Status

This standard was approved as a departmental standard on July 30, 2021.

NAICS Canada 2022 Version 1.0

NAICS Canada 2022 Version 1.0 is the biggest revision to NAICS since 2002. The overarching theme to the updates is the digital economy. The guiding principle of these changes is to classify economic activities based on digital platforms, and those offered on other forms over the Internet, in the same groupings as their non-digital equivalents.

The Generic Statistical Information Model (GSIM) has been used for this revision to identify the types of changes made to the classification: real changes and virtual changes. Real changes are those affecting the scope of the existing classification items or categories, whether or not accompanied by changes in the title, definition and/or the coding. Virtual changes are those made in coding, titles and/or definitions, while the meaning or scope of the classification item remains the same.

The Importance of Data Quality (19220009)

Join us as Statistics Canada’s Quality Secretariat will give a presentation on the importance of data quality. We are living in an exciting time for data: sources are more abundant, they are being generated in innovative ways, and they are available quicker than ever. However, a data source is not only worthless if it does not meet basic quality standards – it can be misleading, and worse than having no data at all!

Statistics Canada's Quality Secretariat has a mandate to promote good quality practices within the agency, across the Government of Canada, and internationally. For quality to truly be present, it must be incorporated into each process (from design to analysis) and into the product itself – whether that product is a microdata file or estimates derived from it.

We will address why data quality is important and how one can evaluate it in practice. We will cover some basic concepts in data quality (quality assurance vs. control, metadata, etc.), and present data quality as a multidimensional concept. Finally, we will show data quality in action by evaluating a data source together. All data quality literacy levels are welcome. After all, everybody plays a part in quality!

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:

calculating each province and territory's fair share of federal-provincial transfer payments for health, education and social programs
establishing government programs to assist businesses
assisting the business community in negotiating contracts and collective agreements
supporting the government in making informed decisions about fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange policies
indexing social benefit programs and determining tax brackets
enabling academics and economists to analyze the economic performance of Canadian industries and to better understand rapidly evolving business environments.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Québec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada
Attention of Director, Enterprise Statistics Division
150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0T6

You may also contact us by email at statcan.esd-helpdesk-dse-bureaudedepannage.statcan@canada.ca or by fax at 613-951-6583.

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

- Permits issued for the replacement of built-in equipment (elevator, heating and plumbing system, etc.) should also be included.

Additional value to previous permits
Please indicate any additional value to an already issued permit.

Secondary suite

Please indicate if this permit is for, or includes, a secondary suite or accessory dwelling unit. e.g. A self-contained dwelling unit that has been created within a larger principal dwelling, or on the same property in a separate structure.

Value of construction

Please round to the nearest dollar or thousand based on your response to question 2 as decimals cannot be entered.

Dwelling units created

Please indicate the number of dwelling units created by the construction of new residential structures or the conversion of existing buildings. e.g. A permit issued for a new duplex would have 2 units created, as there are two separate dwellings. A conversion could be adding additional dwellings units to a residential building, or a change of use from non-residential to residential.

Dwelling units lost

Please indicate the number of dwelling units lost through renovations to existing buildings, usually referred to as a deconversion. e.g. A permit issued to merge two apartment units into one unit would enter 1 in this field. Dwelling units lost can also be the result of a permit issued for the change of use from residential to non-residential.
