Part 1: General
Authority
The quarterly and annual surveys of the International Accounts and Trade Division are conducted under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S19. Completion of these questionnaires is a legal requirement under the Statistics Act.
Purpose of the surveys
The data reported in the surveys are used to prepare statements on Canada's Balance of International Payments and International Investment Position and are also an essential component in other System of National Accounts products. Such statements are used as a major input in the conduct of monetary and exchange rate policies by the Government of Canada.
Confidentiality
Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects which could identify any person, business or organization unless consent has been given by the respondent or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Information from these surveys will be used for statistical purposes only and will be published in aggregate form only.
Timeliness of the statistics
A completed copy of the questionnaire should be returned within three weeks of receipt for the quarterly questionnaires and four weeks of receipt for the annual questionnaires.
Your co-operation is requested in responding to these surveys on a timely basis so as to avoid delays in the release of the statistics. Should you need any clarification regarding reporting, please call our contact telephone number listed under "Filing of this questionnaire" on the front page of each questionnaire.

Country/Geographical Details
Where applicable, use the country code list on the questionnaire to identify the foreign country with which the transaction occur and/or in which the shares or liabilities are held. When the country breakdown is not available, please estimate.
Part 2: Overview of questionnaire
The purpose of these questionnaires of the International Accounts and Trade Division is to gather data on international transactions from business entities in Canada. All of these questionnaires, except the BP-22, are intended largely for companies incorporated in Canada. The BP-22 questionnaire covers the operations and investments of foreign companies in Canada (branches). The Balance of Payments questionnaires should be completed from the point of view of the Canadian business entities.
Who Receives These Questionnaires?
The larger (multi-national) enterprises tend to receive most of the Balance of Payments forms because these companies generally have a multitude of international transactions. Firms are essentially identified from the Statistics Canada's centralized business register.
Some enterprises may receive a BP-FIC. These are enterprises which may have some or all of their shares or long-term debt held outside Canada. Others may receive a BP-CIA. These are enterprises which have capital invested abroad.
Some companies may receive only a BP-QT or BP-21S. These companies may be consolidated in the reports of the parent company for the other Balance of Payments questionnaires but because some of the detail required for certain accounts are not readily available at the consolidated level, these subsidiaries are surveyed separately. Also, there are companies, which may have international transactions, which are restricted, to short-term assets and liabilities, i.e. trade receivables or trade payables, with non-residents or to payments for services rendered by foreign companies.
BP-QT: Quarterly Investment between Canada and Other Countries (Quarterly)
This questionnaire (formerly the BP-21A) is used to gather information on all transactions with non-residents such as equity investment, debt claims and liabilities and investment income. The quarterly questionnaire is sent to a sample of companies with the largest international transactions and investment positions.
For guidance on completing this questionnaire, please refer to page 4.
BP-21S: International Transactions in Commercial Services (Annual)
This questionnaire requests details of business and commercial miscellaneous services and charges with non-residents. The back of this form gives an indication of the range of services and charges for which information is requested.
For guidance on completing this questionnaire, please refer to page 9.
BP-21SQ: International Transactions in Commercial Services (Quarterly)
This questionnaire is a condensed quarterly version of the annual BP-21S questionnaire. This questionnaire is sent to a sample of companies with transactions in services. The quarterly business services transactions should agree with the amounts recorded on the BP-21S.
For guidance on completing this questionnaire, please refer to page 10.
BP-22: Investment in Canada by Non-Canadian Corporations (Annual)
BP-22A: Investment in Canada by Non-Canadian Corporations (Quarterly)
These questionnaires are intended to cover the activities of foreign entities in Canada, which are not conducted through incorporated Canadian companies. In most cases these forms apply to Canadian branches of foreign corporations.
For guidance on completing these questionnaires, please refer to page 11.
BP-FIC: Foreign Investment in Canada (Annual)
The purpose of this survey (formerly the BP-52) is to measure the level of foreign investment in Canadian businesses as well as the latter's liabilities to non-residents.
This questionnaire is used to gather information on the level of foreign investment in Canadian businesses as well as the latter's liabilities to non-residents including bonds, bank loans and other long-term liabilities. The questionnaire should be completed on a Canadian consolidation basis reflecting the long-term debt and equity of the parent and its Canadian subsidiaries. If for some reason a full Canadian consolidation is not available, the Canadian subsidiaries may be surveyed separately.
For guidance on completing these questionnaires, please refer to page 14.
BP-STRUC: Structure of Canadian Companies in the Reporting Enterprise (Annual)
This questionnaire (formerly known as the BP-53) is used to establish which Canadian subsidiaries have been consolidated (part 1) in the BP-FIC questionnaire, as well as the total value of investment in Canadian subsidiaries and associates (part 2) which are not fully consolidated. Please note that this questionnaire is not intended to be a company profile such as that conducted by the Business Register Division of Statistics Canada.
For guidance on completing this questionnaire, please refer to page 17.
BP-CIA: Canadian Investment Abroad (Annual)
This questionnaire (formerly the BP-59 and BP-59S) asks for details on Canadian investment in foreign subsidiaries affiliates. These are foreign entities in which the Canadian reporting enterprise, including its fully Canadian subsidiaries, owns or controls 10% or more of the voting equity. A subsidiary is a foreign company in which the reporting company owns a majority of the voting equity. An associate is a foreign company in which the reporting company owns between 10% and 50% of the voting equity. A foreign branch is not a separate legal entity but registered to do business in a foreign country, including operations such as a division, mine or construction project. The report should cover all investments abroad by the reporting parent company and/or its fully consolidated Canadian subsidiaries.
For each foreign subsidiary, associate and branch reported on this questionnaire, the requested financial information must be provided as shown in the financial statements of the foreign entity.
For guidance on completing this questionnaire, please refer to page 18.

This section applies to the liabilities of the Canadian reporting enterprise to non-residents and is divided into three sections: C1 for bonds; C2 for bank loans; and C3 for other long-term liabilities.
The long-term liabilities in section C should be completed on a Canadian consolidation basis, including the long-term liabilities of the reporting entity and its fully consolidated Canadian subsidiaries, and on an instrument by instrument basis. For each instrument reported, identify the country where it is held and whether it is held by Canadian, foreign direct or other foreign investors.
C1. Bonds
This item should include bonds, debentures, funded debt, notes payable and similar types of long-term debt issued by the Canadian reporting entity where each issue has an issue date, maturity date, and a fixed or fluctuating interest rate. Please report the CUSIP/ISIN identification of the debt security if available.
C2. Bank Loans
Foreign bank loans are usually from a single banking institution in a foreign country. In such cases, the distribution of the bank loan would be assigned 100% to one foreign country. For syndicated bank loans, please report all of the countries involved in the syndicate and not just the country of the lead bank. This information should be available from the loan documents.
C3. Other long-term liabilities
This item should include long-term inter-company debt, long-term loans from non-related companies, mortgage loans from foreign non-banks; financial leases (exclude operational leases) and any other loans from foreign investors.
Section C – General instructions
CUSIP/ISIN Numbers
CUSIP stands for Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures. The 9-digit alphanumeric CUSIP number uniquely identifies most securities, including stocks of all registered U.S. and Canadian companies, and U.S. and Canadian government and municipal bonds. CUSIPs are assigned to securities to facilitate clearing and settlement procedures.
The ISIN standard is a 12-digit alphanumeric code that is used worldwide to identify specific securities such as bonds, stocks (common and preferred), futures, warrant, rights, trusts, commercial paper and options. ISINs are assigned to securities to facilitate clearing and settlement procedures. In Canada and the United States, ISINs are extended versions of 9-character CUSIP numbers.
Issue and Maturity Dates
Report the original issue (delivery) and maturity dates for each bond listed in the YYYY-MM-DD format.
Interest Rate
Report the interest rate of the issue in the following manner:
13% as 13.00
12 3/8% as 12.375
11 1/4% as 11.25
If it is a fluctuating interest rate, report the interest rate in the following manner:
LIBOR + ½% as LIBOR + 0.5 (1/2)
Prime + 1 ¼% as Prime + 1.25(1 1/4)
3/8% over Bank as Bank rate + 0.375 (3/8)
Currency of Issue
Report the currency of issue of the debt using the country code list on page 7 of the questionnaire. Even if the currency of issue has been swapped into another currency, continue to report the original currency of issue.
Total amount outstanding
Report the amounts outstanding in thousands of Canadian dollars at the current year-end and at par value. The amounts should be reported net of serial retirements and /or sinking funds.
Ensure that this item is reported correctly as differences in the amounts outstanding between two periods (excluding exchange rate fluctuations) will be used to verify and to compile draw downs and retirements of the issue. Include debt due within one year that may have been reclassified from long-term debt to short-term accounts.
Geographical ownership distribution
Report the amounts of the debt instrument (bonds, bank loans, other long-term liabilities) held by investors in Canada and investors in other countries. For foreign investors, identify whether it is held by direct or other investors. Foreign direct investors are defined as being corporations or individuals who hold 10% or greater of the voting shares or corporations or individuals who have significant influence in the decisions affecting the operations of the company. Other foreign investors are considered to be portfolio investors; they usually exert no influence on the management decisions of the company.
The information on the geographical ownership of the debt is critical for the balance of payments. Use the country-coding list to identify the country for amounts held by investors in foreign countries. It may be necessary to obtain the country of ownership information from the trustee of the debt issue.

Appendix A – Definitions
Reporting Entity
The Canadian parent should provide a consolidated report including itself and all of its Canadian subsidiaries. If the reporting entity is surveyed with a BP-STRUC (Structure of Canadian companies in the reporting enterprise) questionnaire, please use it to explain the accounting method used to consolidate subsidiaries and associates.
Foreign Parent Corporations/Controlling Shareholders
These are shareholders which are capable of exercising control of the reporting entity through ownership of securities or by other means. Include foreign related (sister) companies which are controlled by substantially the same shareholders or group of shareholders.
Sister/Related Companies
These are companies which have the same parent as the reporting entity but in which the reporting entity holds no direct investment interest (equity less than 10%). One parent company can have one or many affiliates, all of which are sister companies to each other.
Foreign Affiliates (Subsidiaries, Associates and Branches)
These are companies in which the reporting entity (directly or indirectly through other subsidiaries) has ownership interest of at least 10% of the total shares. A subsidiary is a company in which the reporting entity owns a majority (more than 50%) of the voting shares. An associate is a company in which the reporting entity owns between 10% and 50% of the voting rights. A branch is not a separate legal entity and would include operations such as a division, mine or construction project, maintaining its own accounting records.
Direct Investors
These are shareholders (residents of Canada and non-residents) that own 10% or more of the company's equity. These principal investors in the company could be individuals or public and private enterprises who possess significant enough investment in the company to influence the management of the company. In the majority of cases, direct investors would be parent corporations or controlling shareholders of the company.
Foreign Direct Investment
Foreign direct investment represents investment by foreign investors, who own 10% or more of the company's equity or sufficient investment in the company to play a role in its management. These investors, referred to as foreign direct investors, would be investors from other countries such as corporations, unincorporated entities and individuals and would be recognized as foreign parent corporations and/or foreign controlling shareholders.
Portfolio/Non-Affiliated Investors
These may be shareholders or holders of debt of the company, but unlike direct investors these are passive investors that do not have a voice in the management of the enterprise. The investors and the enterprise are not affiliated nor controlled by substantially the same shareholders or group of shareholders. On the BP-FIC questionnaire entries for these investors would fall under other foreign investors and on the BP-QT under foreign non-affiliates.
Foreign Portfolio Investment
Foreign portfolio investment represents investment by foreign investors, individuals and corporations, who are passive investors in the company. The investment in equity or debt of the company does not provide the non-resident investors with the ability to influence the management of the company, i.e. not foreign direct investors. These investors are normally identified as foreign portfolio investors. A foreign portfolio investor could be a holder of the common or preferred shares of the company. Foreign portfolio investors may also be providers of loans or debt capital to the company, such as foreign banks, pension funds, mutual funds, financial institutions, etc.
Long-Term Investment
Include as long-term investment all items intended or likely to remain outstanding for more than one year from the date incurred. If both increases and decreases in claims receipt and payment transactions with a particular country occurred during the year, please report both amounts rather than a net amount.
