Datasets - Canadian Research Data Centre Network

Data

The microdata used by CRDCN researchers come primarily from Statistics Canada Survey Master files. Increasingly, the Research Data Centres (RDCs) are repositories of administrative records from a variety of sources including tax, employment insurance, social assistance, and hospitalization records. To find out more, visit our Understanding Microdata page. If you would like to have access to the data in the RDCs please visit the Accessing RDC Data page.

To assist researchers in our Research Data Centres (RDCs), we have drafted two separate funding acknowledgement messages for use with their publications. We encourage RDC researchers to use this messaging to acknowledge the substantial financial contributions of the various funders who make access to needed data possible.
