All changes made as of December 31, 2019 are included in this 2019 version of the SCCAI. The list was also updated for consistency with Government of Canada norms.
In addition to the list of countries and areas of interest, a classification variant for social statistics data is included. The hierarchical structure of the classification shows the relationship between these geographic areas.
