General Instructions

Parts A, B, and C

  1. Whenever possible, final fees and living accommodation costs should be reported. If they have not yet been determined your best estimate should be reported. Place an "e" after each estimated figure on the questionnaire.
  2. Although tuition fees and living accommodation costs can be reported on any basis, tables produced by Statistics Canada will reflect an academic year of two semesters, eight months or 30 credits in order to create a basis for comparison. When data adjustments are required to create a fit with the standard academic year, this will be footnoted.
  3. Please report fees in the "lower" column. Where fees vary, (for example, according to year within the program) report the actual range, both upper and lower, and explain the variance in the "comments" section.

    Part A only

  4. When reporting "Tuition fees per full-time student" in Part A, only the cost of tuition should be reported. Do not include additional fees for materials or equipment. If program specific fees exist, please make a note in the area provided for comments. For example, uncharacteristically high fees for an Executive MBA program should be noted in the comments section. Such comments will be footnoted in the data tables produced.
  5. The "Canadian Students" category in Part A includes Canadian citizens, permanent residents and all other students paying the regular fees. If fees vary for foreign students, please attach a brief note on the rules determining how a student is classified as foreign.

    Part B only

  6. In Part B, please report compulsory fees for all full-time students where these fees do not vary according to their field of study and/or report compulsory fees for full-time students, where these fees do vary according to the field of study. If there are fees which apply only to foreign students, please make a note in the area provided for comments. Such comments will be footnoted in the data tables produced.

    Part C only

  7. In Part C, if it is not possible to separate the room and meal plan costs for single students, only a total should be shown.

I. Introduction

A. Description

The Tuition and Living Accommodation Costs for Full-time Students at Canadian Degree-granting Institutions Survey was developed to provide student financial information (tuition fees and living accommodation costs) on all universities and degree-granting colleges in Canada.

This information:

  • gives stakeholders, the public and students an annual guide to tuition costs as well as providing information on trends in tuition fees;
  • contribute to a better understanding of the student financial position for that level of education;
  • helps in the development of policies in this sector;
  • is used to calculate the Consumer Price Index;
  • facilitates interprovincial comparisons;
  • facilitates comparisons across institutions.

B. Reference period

The actual cycle of this survey is for 2010-2011 academic year.

C. Population

The target population is all public degree-granting institutions (universities and colleges) in Canada.

Please note that the survey is targeting institutions that have degree granting status for school year 2010-2011. Institutions that do not have degree granting status should be excluded, even if they provide portions of programs that lead to a degree granted by another institution. Beginning with this year cycle, the survey is being limited to institutions whose operations are primarily funded by provincial governments. Privately funded institutions with degree-granting authority are excluded from this survey.

D. Field of study

The fields of study classification for both graduate and undergraduate programs are adapted from the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP), Statistics Canada's standard for field of study classification. The CIP's structure comprises several groupings developed jointly by Statistics Canada and the National Center for Education Statistics in the USA. It is based on work undertaken as part of the creation of the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) by Canada, the United States and Mexico.

The adapted groupings are
For undergraduate programs:

  • Education
  • Visual and Performing Arts, and Communications Technologies
  • Humanities
  • Social and Behavioral Sciences
  • Law
  • Business, Management and Public Administration
  • Physical and Life Sciences and Technologies
  • Mathematics, Computer and Information Sciences
  • Engineering
  • Architecture and Related Technologies
  • Agriculture, Natural Resources and Conservation
  • Dentistry
  • Medicine
  • Nursing
  • Pharmacy
  • Veterinary medicine
  • Health (other than Medicine), Parks, recreation and Fitness
  • Personal, Protective and Transportation Services
  • Other

For graduate programs:

  • All the undergraduate program grouping plus;
  • Executive MBA
  • Regular MBA

In order to report a discipline fees in the right program, please refer to Appendix A: CIP groupings list for TLAC.

Most of the categories are straightforward, however please note those listed below as they have caused confusion in the past.

Tenure of private household, category

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Tenure' refers to whether the household owns or rents their private dwelling. The private dwelling may be situated on rented or leased land or be part of a condominium. A household is considered to own their dwelling if some member of the household owns the dwelling even if it is not fully paid for, for example if there is a mortgage or some other claim on it. A household is considered to rent their dwelling if no member of the household owns the dwelling. A household is considered to rent that dwelling even if the dwelling is provided without cash rent or at a reduced rent, or if the dwelling is part of a cooperative.

Note: For historical and statutory reasons, shelter occupancy on reserves (or settlements) does not lend itself to the usual classification by standard tenure categories. Therefore, a special category, band housing, has been created and is used in the 2011 National Household Survey.

'Private household' refers to a person or group of persons who occupy the same dwelling and do not have a usual place of residence elsewhere in Canada or abroad. The household universe is divided into two sub-universes on the basis of whether the household is occupying a collective dwelling or a private dwelling. The latter is a private household.

Condominium status of private dwelling, category

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Condominium status' refers to whether the private dwelling is part of a condominium. A condominium is a residential complex in which dwellings are owned individually while land and common elements are held in joint ownership with others.

'Private dwelling' refers to a separate set of living quarters with a private entrance either from outside the building or from a common hall, lobby, vestibule or stairway inside the building. The entrance to the dwelling must be one that can be used without passing through the living quarters of some other person or group of persons.

Dwelling condition of private dwelling, category

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Dwelling condition' refers to whether the dwelling is in need of repairs. This does not include desirable remodelling or additions.

Note: In the 2011 National Household Survey, 'Dwelling condition' is referred to as 'Condition of dwelling'.

'Private dwelling' refers to a separate set of living quarters with a private entrance either from outside the building or from a common hall, lobby, vestibule or stairway inside the building. The entrance to the dwelling must be one that can be used without passing through the living quarters of some other person or group of persons.

Bedrooms of private dwelling, category

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Bedrooms' refers to rooms in a private dwelling that are designed mainly for sleeping purposes even if they are now used for other purposes, such as guest rooms and television rooms. Also included are rooms used as bedrooms now, even if they were not originally built as bedrooms, such as bedrooms in a finished basement. Bedrooms exclude rooms designed for another use during the day such as dining rooms and living rooms even if they may be used for sleeping purposes at night. By definition, one-room private dwellings such as bachelor apartments have zero bedrooms.

Note: In the 2011 National household survey, 'bachelor apartments' are called 'studio apartments'.

'Private dwelling' refers to a separate set of living quarters with a private entrance either from outside the building or from a common hall, lobby, vestibule or stairway inside the building. The entrance to the dwelling must be one that can be used without passing through the living quarters of some other person or group of persons.

Rooms of private dwelling, category

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Rooms' refers to enclosed areas within a private dwelling which are finished and suitable for year round living. The number of rooms of a private dwelling includes kitchens, bedrooms and finished rooms in the attic or basement. The number of rooms of a private dwelling excludes bathrooms, halls, vestibules and rooms used solely for business purposes. Partially divided rooms are considered to be separate rooms if they are considered as such by the respondent (e.g., L-shaped dining-room and living-room arrangements).

'Private dwelling' refers to a separate set of living quarters with a private entrance either from outside the building or from a common hall, lobby, vestibule or stairway inside the building. The entrance to the dwelling must be one that can be used without passing through the living quarters of some other person or group of persons.

2011 Census of Agriculture - Privacy impact assessment

Introduction

The Census of Agriculture is the only source of data to provide a comprehensive and integrated profile of the physical, economic, social and environmental aspects of Canada’s agriculture industry. The Census of Agriculture collects data for all farms operating in Canada, regardless of size.

Statistics Canada must conduct the Census of Agriculture every five years as required by the Statistics Act. It has a longstanding relationship with the quinquennial Census of Population and the two censuses have been conducted concurrently since 1956.

Objectives

Although the two censuses share many collection operations, a decision was made that a separate privacy impact assessment was needed to address new activities for the 2011 Census of Agriculture where there were specific privacy, confidentiality and security risks. This assessment will not address the majority of joint activities with the Census of Population which have been addressed in the 2011 Census of Population Privacy Impact Assessment, the 2006 Census of Population Privacy Impact Assessment and the Generic Privacy Impact Assessment for Statistics Canada Surveys.

Therefore this assessment identifies and addresses unique privacy concerns related to the 2011 Census of Agriculture and makes recommendations for their resolution or mitigation.  They are: asking for the farm operation’s Business Number on the agriculture census questionnaire; addressing the mail-out questionnaire to the farm operator(s) by name; and using a centralized telephone interview for all follow-up, which eliminates the local enumerator role. As well, the shared activity of using the Internet to complete a census questionnaire is examined.

Description

The Census of Agriculture questionnaire collects data from about 230,000 farm operations (which are run by over 327,000 farm operators) across Canada. The questionnaire covers a broad range of agricultural questions which touch virtually all aspects of Canadian agriculture. Its aggregated data are available at low levels of geography on topics such as the area of land, crop areas, greenhouses and nursery products, land management practices, poultry and livestock counts, machinery numbers and values, expenses, receipts and paid labour.

Conclusion

This assessment of the 2011 Census of Agriculture, in combination with other assessments mentioned above, did not identify any privacy risks that cannot be managed using existing safeguards or specific measures that have been put in place for the 2011 Census of Agriculture.
