The 2020 CIUS aims to measure the adoption and use of digital technologies by individual residents of Canada 15 years of age and over, living in the provinces.

The 2022 CIUS aims to measure the adoption and use of digital technologies by individual residents of Canada 15 years of age and over, living in the provinces. The information gathered helps to better understand how the Internet and other digital technologies are changing the way we work, play and interact with others. The CIUS examines Internet access and use, along with the use of Internet-connected smart devices, social connections in the digital age, use of government online services, e-commerce, digital skills, security, privacy and trust, online work and the knowledge and adoption of new digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, digital credentials and cryptocurrencies. The CIUS also measures barriers to: Internet access and use, online services, and various digital technologies. Collected data is used to inform evidence-based policymaking, research, program development, and provide internationally comparable statistics on the use of digital technologies. For example, the results from this survey will be used to: - Guide government efforts to provide households with more reliable and affordable high-speed Internet Develop policies to protect individuals from online privacy and security risks Research the impacts of digital technologies on well-being and new gig-based employment Better understand the digital skills needed for learning and the future of work Better understand how and why Canadians use online services, like shopping and banking Identify barriers that prevent people from accessing the Internet and making the most out of the new technologies presently available Improve online government services and make them more user-friendly Contribute to international initiatives, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the OECD Going Digital Project, to help track and compare Canada’s digital development. The survey is built off the previous iterations of the CIUS, last conducted in 2018 and 2020. The 2022 iteration has been updated to collect data to meet new data needs. The 2022 iteration of the CIUS is sponsored by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED).

The Canadian Perspectives Survey Series (CPSS) is a set of short, online surveys beginning in March 2020 that will be used to collect information on the knowledge and behaviours of residents of the 10 Canadian provinces. All surveys in the series will be asked of Statistics Canada’s probability panel. The probability panel for the CPSS is a new pilot project initiated in 2019. An important goal of the CPSS is to directly collect data from Canadians in a timely manner in order to inform policy makers and be responsive to emerging data needs. The CPSS is designed to produce data at a national level (excluding the territories). The survey program is sponsored by Statistics Canada. Each survey in the CPSS is cross sectional. Participating in the probability panel and the subsequent surveys of the CPSS is voluntary. The first survey of the CPSS is CPSS1 – Impacts of COVID-19. It was administered from March 29, 2020 until April 3, 2020.
