As of February 1, 2012, self-serve standard products available on the Statistics Canada website—including CANSIM and census data products—have become free of charge.
Statistics Canada will maintain current pricing practices for products such as print publications, maps, CD-ROMs, and custom products and services.
Licensing restrictions for the use of Statistics Canada data products have been removed.
The above change does not affect the dissemination of survey data files (microdata files) under the DLI license. These files can only be accessed through either ODESI or EQUINOX . Please contact Data and GIS Library Services via Email if you have any questions.
