New data sets at the RDC: 

Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) with multiple linkage

Statistics Canada and the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) are pleased to announce the availability of new analytical files featuring information on the Emergency and Recovery Benefits (ERB) recipients’ records combined with administrative, census and survey data.
 
The available microdata contains de-identified client-level administrative information such as the amount of benefits received and the number of weeks of receiving benefits from the following ERB programs:

• Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) – March 2020 to September 2020
• Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) – September 2020 to October 2021
• Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB) – September 2020 to May 2022
• Canada Recovery Caregiver Benefit (CRCB) – September 2020 to May 2022

 
The following tax-derived and geographical variables are also available for the recipient and non-recipient population:

• Income class;
• NAICS industry code, employer size class;
• Age, sex, disability status, marital status, presence of children; and
• Geographical location

 
If required for approved analytical projects, subsequent linkage keys would allow mapping of the Emergency and Recovery Benefits records as described above to another source (e.g. Census, Canadian Survey on Disability, Longitudinal Immigration Database... with some restrictions).

If you would like more information on how to submit a proposal for access to this data see https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/microdata/data-centres/access.  For more information about the RDC program please contact your local RDC analyst.
