About Canadian Research Data Centre Network
The Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN) provides access to datasets through its Research Data Centres (RDCs). The microdata used by CRDCN researchers come primarily from Statistics Canada Survey Master files. The RDCs also serve as repositories of administrative records from sources including tax, employment insurance, social assistance, and hospitalization records. Access to the data in the RDCs is not direct; users are directed to the Accessing RDC Data page. The site lists datasets with type (cross-sectional or longitudinal) and coverage years, and offers funding acknowledgement messages for researchers' publications.
