The Centre is open to all persons who
have appropriate clearance from Statistics Canada. Access to data is allowed upon
approval of an application that has been peer reviewed through a process
managed jointly by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council and
Statistics Canada. Before applying for access to Statistics
Canada data through the Research Data Centre, it is advisable to check on the
data accessible through its Data
Liberation Initiative (DLI) Program for Canadian post secondary
institutions. At Western University, DLI data are available through the Equinox data
delivery system. A checklist developed by the Toronto Regional Statistics
Canada RDC helps decide which service to use: RDC or DLI. The Research Data Centres Program of
Statistics Canada provides the application process and
guidelines to access data for academic and government-funded research. How
