Indigenous Peoples Survey
Have you received a letter in the mail from Statistics Canada inviting you to participate in the 2022 Indigenous Peoples Survey?
The Indigenous Peoples Survey (IPS) is a national survey conducted with First Nations people living off reserve, Métis and Inuit.
Why should I participate?
The IPS aims to provide current and relevant data to help plan programs and policies in education, employment and health. The information can be used by Indigenous organizations, communities, service providers, researchers, and governments to improve the well-being of Indigenous peoples.
The survey will include questions about employment, education, health, language, and access and barriers to services.
How was I selected?
You or your child were chosen at random from anyone aged 1 or older who identified themselves as Indigenous or as having Indigenous ancestry in the 2021 Census of Population.
If you were selected, you will receive a letter in the mail.
Will my information remain confidential?
The confidentiality of the data you provide is our number one priority, which is the reason every Statistics Canada employee takes an oath of secrecy. Information which could identify an individual is never released to anyone, not even other government departments. Statistics Canada will use the information you provide for statistical purposes only.
