A-KIR Definitions

Actual-in counts: All persons held in custody under sentence, on remand, or who are otherwise legally required to be at a custody facility and who are present at the time the count is taken.

Average Daily Counts: The average number of persons supervised under a specified program on a daily basis.

Monthly average daily count calculation: The data for monthly average daily counts are calculated by dividing the total days stay (or total "bed" days) for all correctional institutions within the jurisdiction by the number of days in the month.

Month-end counts: This data should be derived from month-end counts of offenders under supervision.

Custody

Remand only: Remand includes those persons in custody on a REMAND Warrant of Committal ONLY who are awaiting a further court appearance (i.e. pure remand average counts), and are NOT presently serving a sentence or being held on another "hold" status.

Sentenced custody only:  Offenders who are sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment under a Warrant of Committal ONLY, and NOT presently held on another "hold" status.

Other-temporary detention: adults who are being held in provincial/territorial correctional institutions for lock-ups, parole violations or suspensions, immigration holds, and those who are temporarily detained without warrants of any type.

Lock-up: a short period of custody spent in jail (since no cell is available in police station), while waiting to be released, usually to see a Justice of the Peace.

Dual status Remand and Sentenced custody: includes all inmates held on a Provincial/Territorial sentenced Warrant of Committal and a Remand Warrant of Committal.

Dual status Sentenced custody and Other-temporary detention: includes all inmates held on a Provincial/Territorial sentenced Warrant of Committal and those held in other/temporary detention.

Non-sentenced dual status Remand and Other-temporary detention: includes all inmates held on a REMAND Warrant of Committal and on an Other / Temporary Detention.

Provincial/Territorial: Offenders who are sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment which is less than two years are the responsibility of provincial or territorial correctional services.

Federal: Offenders under federal responsibility, held in a provincial/territorial facility through an Exchange of Service Agreement (ESA).

Community

Supervised probation : includes all adults who must, as a condition of a probation order, report to and be under the supervision of a probation officer or other person designated by the court ONLY, and are NOT presently serving a conditional sentence or parole.

Conditional sentence: includes all offenders serving a conditional sentence ONLY, and are NOT presently serving supervised probation or parole. Allows offenders sentenced to a term of custody to serve their time in the community under supervision. Compulsory conditions can be attached to the sentence such as remaining within the jurisdiction of the court and reporting to a supervisor as specified. Other conditions may require the offender to abstain from the consumption of alcohol or to perform community work.

Provincial parole: includes all adults in Quebec and Ontario on Provincial Parole ONLY, and are NOT presently serving supervised probation or conditional sentence. Allows the offender to serve the remainder of the sentence in the community under supervision by a community parole officer. Possible after serving 1/3 of the sentence.

Dual status conditional sentence and parole: Includes dual-status offenders on conditional sentence and parole ONLY.

Dual status of supervised probation and parole: Includes dual-status offenders on supervised probation and parole ONLY.

On-register but not in custody:

On-register: The average On-register but not in custody count should be derived from daily-midnight counts of offenders actually on the institutional registers but temporarily absent from the institution at the time of the count.

Temporary absence: Allows offenders to leave the institution for specific purposes. Offenders may be either "escorted" or "unescorted". Reasons for such releases are usually for family visits, medical services, rehabilitation programs, socialization or humanitarian reasons.

Day parole: After 1/6 of the sentence, the inmate can be allowed out to participate in ongoing community based activities. Inmates must return nightly to a halfway-house or a provincial –territorial jail unless otherwise authorized.

Other types of community supervision

Temporary release from custody: A release for a longer period of time, like 3 weeks to a month for humanitarian reasons.

Fine option program: provides work service as an alternative to the payment of a fine.

Community service: requires offenders to perform community services for an individual or non-profit organizations, which may or may not be a condition of supervised probation.  Monthly counts should include all offenders with a requirement to complete community service work.

Other: may include bail supervision, restitution orders etc.

  • Bail supervision: a community based program that is an alternative to detention before sentencing.

  • Restitution: an additional order imposed upon an offender that requires the offender to make restitution for loss or damage."

A-KIR Definitions

Actual-in counts: All persons held in custody under sentence, on remand, or who are otherwise legally required to be at a custody facility and who are present at the time the count is taken.

Average Daily Counts: The average number of persons supervised under a specified program on a daily basis.

Monthly average daily count calculation: The data for monthly average daily counts are calculated by dividing the total days stay (or total "bed" days) for all correctional institutions within the jurisdiction by the number of days in the month.

Month-end counts: This data should be derived from month-end counts of offenders under supervision.

Custody

Remand only: Remand includes those persons in custody on a REMAND Warrant of Committal ONLY who are awaiting a further court appearance (i.e. pure remand average counts), and are NOT presently serving a sentence or being held on another "hold" status.

Sentenced custody only:  Offenders who are sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment under a Warrant of Committal ONLY, and NOT presently held on another "hold" status.

Other-temporary detention: adults who are being held in provincial/territorial correctional institutions for lock-ups, parole violations or suspensions, immigration holds, and those who are temporarily detained without warrants of any type.

Lock-up: a short period of custody spent in jail (since no cell is available in police station), while waiting to be released, usually to see a Justice of the Peace.

Dual status Remand and Sentenced custody: includes all inmates held on a Provincial/Territorial sentenced Warrant of Committal and a Remand Warrant of Committal.

Dual status Sentenced custody and Other-temporary detention: includes all inmates held on a Provincial/Territorial sentenced Warrant of Committal and those held in other/temporary detention.

Non-sentenced dual status Remand and Other-temporary detention: includes all inmates held on a REMAND Warrant of Committal and on an Other / Temporary Detention.

Provincial/Territorial: Offenders who are sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment which is less than two years are the responsibility of provincial or territorial correctional services.

Federal: Offenders under federal responsibility, held in a provincial/territorial facility through an Exchange of Service Agreement (ESA).

Community

Supervised probation : includes all adults who must, as a condition of a probation order, report to and be under the supervision of a probation officer or other person designated by the court ONLY, and are NOT presently serving a conditional sentence or parole.

Conditional sentence: includes all offenders serving a conditional sentence ONLY, and are NOT presently serving supervised probation or parole. Allows offenders sentenced to a term of custody to serve their time in the community under supervision. Compulsory conditions can be attached to the sentence such as remaining within the jurisdiction of the court and reporting to a supervisor as specified. Other conditions may require the offender to abstain from the consumption of alcohol or to perform community work.

Provincial parole: includes all adults in Quebec and Ontario on Provincial Parole ONLY, and are NOT presently serving supervised probation or conditional sentence. Allows the offender to serve the remainder of the sentence in the community under supervision by a community parole officer. Possible after serving 1/3 of the sentence.

Dual status supervised probation and conditional sentence: Includes dual-status offenders on supervised probation and conditional sentence ONLY.

Dual status conditional sentence and parole: Includes dual-status offenders on conditional sentence and parole ONLY.

Dual status of supervised probation and parole: Includes dual-status offenders on supervised probation and parole ONLY.

On-register but not in custody:

On-register: The average On-register but not in custody count should be derived from daily-midnight counts of offenders actually on the institutional registers but temporarily absent from the institution at the time of the count.

Temporary absence: Allows offenders to leave the institution for specific purposes. Offenders may be either "escorted" or "unescorted". Reasons for such releases are usually for family visits, medical services, rehabilitation programs, socialization or humanitarian reasons.

Day parole: After 1/6 of the sentence, the inmate can be allowed out to participate in ongoing community based activities. Inmates must return nightly to a halfway-house or a provincial –territorial jail unless otherwise authorized.

Other types of community supervision

Temporary release from custody: A release for a longer period of time, like 3 weeks to a month for humanitarian reasons.

Fine option program: provides work service as an alternative to the payment of a fine.

Community service: requires offenders to perform community services for an individual or non-profit organizations, which may or may not be a condition of supervised probation.  Monthly counts should include all offenders with a requirement to complete community service work.

Other: may include bail supervision, restitution orders etc.

  • Bail supervision: a community based program that is an alternative to detention before sentencing.

  • Restitution: an additional order imposed upon an offender that requires the offender to make restitution for loss or damage."

The LFS application consists of several questionnaire components (Contact, Household, Demographics, Rent, Labour Force Information and Exit), each of which is summarized below, followed by the lists of codesets. Each of the questionnaire components is comprised of a number of question blocks.

For simplicity, as a result of the complexity of the logic within the application, not all possible questions and flows are presented. This is especially the case within the Contact Component where the scope of possible questions and flows is somewhat greater than that summarized below.

Selected dwellings are in the survey for six consecutive months. A birth interview corresponds to the first interview for a new household, and is usually conducted in person. Some birth interviews are now also conducted by telephone from centralized CATI work sites.

Subsequent interviews are conducted in the following months, and are usually done by telephone. Starting in 2015, LFS respondents who met certain criteria were also offered the option of completing the survey on-line for subsequent interviews.

Purpose of the Census of Agriculture and users of the data

The Census of Agriculture provides the only comprehensive and integrated profile of the physical, economic, social and environmental aspects of Canada's agriculture industry. It is conducted every five years. The data are needed to make informed decisions about business management strategies, agricultural policies, programs and services that directly affect farmers and rural communities.

Census data provide a reliable source of information to farm organizations, government departments, agriculture suppliers and service providers, and researchers that help them to understand and respond to changes in agriculture.

But why in May?

Statistics Canada recognizes that mid-May is one of the busiest times of the year for farmers. However, collecting the data at the same time as the Census of Population streamlines procedures and saves millions of dollars.

Use of record linkages

To enhance the data from this census and to minimize the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

The law protects what you tell us

The confidentiality of your census responses is protected by law. All Statistics Canada employees have taken an oath of secrecy. Your personal census information cannot be given to anyone outside Statistics Canada without your consent. This is your right.

Fax or e-mail transmission disclosure

Statistics Canada advises you that there could be a risk of disclosure during facsimile or e-mail transmission. However, upon receipt, Statistics Canada will provide the guaranteed level of protection afforded all information collected under the authority of the Statistics Act.
