The Canadian Perspectives Survey Series (CPSS), Statistics Canada's new data collection project aimed at understanding social issues more rapidly, while reducing the cost of collecting data.
Data release - April 17, 2020 (First in a series of releases for this reference period.)
Description: From March 29 to April 3 2020, Statistics Canada will conduct the survey on the Impacts of the COVID-19. In order to implement this survey rapidly, it will be conducted online only, among those who volunteered to participate in the Canadian Perspectives Survey Series (CPSS). This survey will be the first of the CPSS.
The COVID-19 pandemic is currently disrupting the lives and habits of all Canadians. It is therefore necessary to quickly gather information to help understand its impacts on the physical and mental health of individuals, as well as on their social and employment circumstances.
This information will be used by government organizations, such as the Public Health Agency of Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada, and other types of organizations to evaluate the need for health and social services, as well as economic support during and after the pandemic.
