Disclosure to Statistics Canada

Statistics Canada is the national statistical agency. As such, Statistics Canada carries out  hundreds of surveys each year on a wide range of matters, including education.

It is essential to be able to follow students across time and institutions to understand, for  example, the factors affecting enrollment demand at post-secondary institutions. The increased  emphasis on accountability for public investment means that it is also important to understand  'outcomes'. In order to conduct such studies, Statistics Canada asks all colleges and universities  to provide data on students and graduates. Institutions collect and provide to Statistics Canada  student identification information (student's name, student ID number, Social Insurance  Number), student contact information (address and telephone number), student demographic  characteristics, enrollment information, previous education, and labour force activity.

The Federal Statistics Act provides the legal authority for Statistics Canada to obtain access to  personal information held by educational institutions. The information may be used only for  statistical purposes, and the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act prevent the  information from being released in any way that would identify a student.

Students who do not wish to have their information used can ask Statistics Canada to remove  their identifying information from the national database. On request by a student, Statistics  Canada will delete an individual's contact information (name, address, or other personal  identifiers) from the Postsecondary Student Information System database. To make such a  request, please contact:
