This is an administrative survey that collects demographic and medical (cause of death) information monthly from all provincial and territorial vital statistics registries on all deaths in Canada.

This dataset compares birth, death and marriage registrations completed by the Office of the Registrar General, beginning in 1925, to the most current published annual report (2022). Data released for 2024 is preliminary and may not match counts from other sources. The data represents counts in the reference calendar quarters, which are collated approximately 90 days after the end of the quarter. Previously released counts for 2024 are updated to reflect vital event registrations completed after the release of the initial report. Each subsequent quarterly report is the cumulative total of the preceding quarterly reports. ServiceOntario’s ability to provide timely information depends on receiving vital event registration information from a variety of sources. The preliminary data presented may not represent all the events that occurred in the reporting period. This is particularly true for events that occurred near the end of the reporting period as they may not have been received by ServiceOntario by the time the data is collated. Final counts for the reporting year will be released with the publication of the Office of the Registrar General Annual Report. The Vital Statistics Act requires that after the end of each calendar year, the Registrar General publish a report that includes the number of births, marriages, deaths, still-births, adoptions and changes of name registered during the calendar year preceding the one that has ended.

Number of deaths and age-specific mortality rates for selected grouped causes, by age group and sex, 2000 to most recent year.

A summary of requests for vital statistic services by type of service and year and month of occurrence.

Rank, number of deaths, percentage of deaths, and age-specific mortality rates for the leading causes of death, by age group and sex, 2000 to most recent year.

Number of deaths caused by external causes of morbidity and mortality, by age group and sex, 2000 to most recent year.

This table provides Canadians and researchers with provisional data to monitor weekly death trends in Canada. Given the delays in receiving the data from the provincial and territorial vital statistics offices, these data are considered provisional. Data in this table will be available by province and territory.

Number, rank and percentage frequency of first names from the Canadian Vital Statistics Database – Birth (BCDECN) by sex at birth and year, for Canada, from 1991 to the most recent year.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), in collaboration with other governmental and non-governmental organizations, conducts national surveillance of cancer to support the planning and evaluation of cancer-related policies, programs, and services. For this fact sheet, data from the Canadian Cancer Registry, the Canadian Vital Statistics – Death Database, and the Canadian Community Health Survey were used to provide current statistics on the burden of cancer in Canada.

The Office of the Registrar General (ORG), under the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement, is dedicated to delivering secure, accurate and accessible vital statistics records and services. The ORG administers the Vital Statistics Act, Change of Name Act and Marriage Act. The principal functions of the ORG are to: * register and maintain a registry of births, marriages, deaths, still-births, adoptions and changes of name events that occur in Ontario; * provide proof of registration services in the form of certificates or certified copies of the original registration record; * provide statistical data for research and public policy-making purposes; and * regulate and maintain a register of individuals authorized to solemnize marriages in Ontario. This report summarizes operational statistics compiled from registrations of births, marriages, deaths, still-births, adoptions and change of name events as reported to the ORG. Each report pertains to events that occurred during the calendar year of the report year, and is made available to the public in compliance with the Vital Statistics Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter V.4, subsection 3(5).

Provides for the legal registration of all Alberta births, stillbirths, deaths, marriages, adoptions and change of name. Also provides for alterations and corrections to the records, issuance of burial permits, certificates, copies, and searches of records and compilation of a statistical report.

The table 13-10-0110-01 is an update of table 13-10-0408-01. 2 Infant mortality corresponds to the death of a child under one year of age. Expressed as a rate per 1,000 live births. 3 Perinatal deaths include late fetal deaths (stillbirths with a gestational age of 28 weeks or more) and early neonatal deaths (deaths of infants aged less than one week). 4 Numbers and rates in this table may differ from those found in similar data published by the Vital Statistics program as the data here have been tabulated based on postal codes available for place of residence. 5 2017 data for Yukon are not available. 6 The number of births, stillbirths, and deaths in Ontario for 2016 and 2017 are considered preliminary. 7 Due to improvements in methodology and timeliness, the duration of data collection has been shortened compared to previous years. As a result, there may have been fewer births and stillbirths captured by the time of the release. The 2017 data are therefore considered preliminary. 8 A census metropolitan area (CMA) is an area consisting of one or more adjacent municipalities situated around a major urban core. To form a census metropolitan area, the urban core must have a population of at least 100,000. The CMAs are those defined for the 2016 Census. To form a census agglomeration, the urban core must have a population of at least 10,000. 9 The metropolitan influenced zone (MIZ) classification is an approach to better differentiate areas of Canada outside of census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations. Census subdivisions that lie outside these areas are classified into one of four zones of influence. They are assigned to categories based on the flow of residents travelling to work in an urban area with a population greater than 10,000. Municipalities where more that 30% of the residents commute to work in an urban core are assigned to the strong MIZ category. Municipalities where between 5% and 30% of the residents commute to work in an urban core are assigned to the moderate MIZ category. Municipalities where between 0% and 5% of the residents commute to work in an urban core are assigned to the weak MIZ category. Municipalities where fewer than 40 or none of the residents commute to work in an urban core are assigned to the zero MIZ category. 10 Geographical areas are modified every 5 years to reflect the most recent census definitions, therefore, data are not strictly comparable historically. 11 Counts and rates in this table are based on three consecutive years of data. 12 The 95% confidence interval (CI) illustrates the degree of variability associated with a rate. 13 Wide confidence intervals (CIs) indicate high variability, thus, these rates should be interpreted and compared with due caution. 14 The following standard symbols are used in this Statistics Canada table: (..) for figures not available for a specific reference period, (...) for figures not applicable and (x) for figures suppressed to meet the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act. 15 The figures shown in the tables have been subjected to a confidentiality procedure known as controlled rounding to prevent the possibility of associating statistical data with any identifiable individual. Under this method, all figures, including totals and margins, are rounded either up or down to a multiple of 5. Controlled rounding has the advantage over other types of rounding of producing additive tables as well as offering more protection.

Canada CA: Death Rate: Crude: per 1000 People data was reported at 8.100 Ratio in 2023. This records a decrease from the previous number of 8.600 Ratio for 2022. Canada CA: Death Rate: Crude: per 1000 People data is updated yearly, averaging 7.200 Ratio from Dec 1960 (Median) to 2023, with 64 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 8.600 Ratio in 2022 and a record low of 6.900 Ratio in 1992. Canada CA: Death Rate: Crude: per 1000 People data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Canada – Table CA.World Bank.WDI: Population and Urbanization Statistics. Crude death rate indicates the number of deaths occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.;(1) United Nations Population Division.

This is because of the adoption of the 2015 version of the Health Region Geography. For more information, consult Statistics Canada's publication Health Regions: Boundaries and Correspondence with Census Geography" (catalogue number 82-402-X)." 2 Mortality is the death rate, which can be measured as total mortality (all causes of death combined) or by selected cause of death. All counts and rates are calculated using the total population (all age groups). 3 Potential years of life lost (PYLL) is the number of years of potential life not lived when a person dies prematurely" defined for this indicator as before age 75. All counts and rates in this table are calculated using the population aged 0 to 74."4 Counts and rates in this table are based on three consecutive years of death data. Rates are per 100,000 population and were calculated by dividing the counts by three consecutive years of population data. 5 Rates are age-standardized using the direct method and the 2011 Canadian Census population structure. The use of a standard population results in more meaningful rate comparisons because it adjusts for variations in population age distributions over time and across geographic areas. 6 Counts and rates in this table exclude: deaths of non-residents of Canada; deaths of residents of Canada whose province or territory of residence was unknown; deaths for which age of decedent was unknown. 7 Rates in this table are based on place of residence for indicators derived from death events. 8 The number of deaths in Ontario for 2016 is considered preliminary. 9 Health regions are administrative areas defined by provincial ministries of health according to provincial legislation. The health regions presented in this table are based on boundaries and names in effect as of December 2017. For complete Canadian coverage, each northern territory represents a health region. 10 Peer groups are aggregations of health regions that share similar socio-economic and demographic characteristics, based on data from the 2011 Census of Population and 2011 National Household Survey. These are useful in the analysis of health regions, where important differences may be detected by comparing health regions within a peer group. The nine peer groups are identified by the letters A through I, which are appended to the health region 4-digit code. Caution should be taken when comparing data for the Peer Groups over time due to changes in the Peer Groups. In an analysis involving the peer groups, only one level of geography in Ontario should be used. For more information on the peer groups classification, consult Statistics Canada's publication Health Regions: Boundaries and Correspondence with Census Geography" (catalogue number 82-402-X)." 11 Before 2010, missing data on sex of the deceased were imputed based on death registration number. Starting with 2010 data year, missing data on sex of the deceased were imputed based on the cause of death information and a logistic regression. 12 The cause of death tabulated is the underlying cause of death. This is defined as (a) the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death, or (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury. The underlying cause is selected from the conditions listed on the medical certificate of cause of death. 13 Confidence intervals for age-standardized rates for selected causes of death data were produced using the Spiegelman method.
