Canadian Internet Use Survey
2005


    The public use microdata file from the 2005 Canadian Internet Use  
Survey (CIUS) is now available. This file contains information  
collected from more than 30,000 respondents aged 18 and over residing  
in private households in the provinces.

    The public use microdata file provides information about the  
extent to which individual Canadians use the Internet, as well as the  
scope of their Internet use. The survey content includes the location  
of use (e.g., at home or at work), the frequency and intensity of  
use, the specific uses of the Internet from the home, the purchase of  
products and services (electronic commerce), and other issues related  
to Internet use (such as concerns over privacy). This content is  
supplemented by information on socio-economic characteristics (e.g.,  
age, income and education) and some sub-provincial geographic detail.

Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 4432.

    The Canadian Internet Use Survey: Public Use Microdata File,  
2005, is available on CD-ROM (56M0003XCB, $2,350), along with  
complete documentation including a user guide and a codebook. See How

    Results from the 2005 CIUS were released in The Daily on August  
15, 2006 and in The Daily on November 1, 2006. These releases also
