Corrections to the Canadian Income Survey (CIS): 2018 – 2022 Territorial Data are now available for download and can be accessed by researchers with approved projects.

 1. The following information was added to the “Readme” files:

• For CIS 2018 to CIS 2020, there can be duplicates between identifiers used in the provinces and identifiers used in the territories (e.g. MASTERID and PERSONID). As a result, it is preferable to keep territorial microdata files separate from the provincial files.
• The “Readme” and “Lisezmoi” files should be replaced under “Documents” for all years (2018 to 2022).

2. Variable MBMREG18 was missing descriptions for MBM regions in the territories. Data dictionaries and layout files were updated for all years.
