Introduction

Purpose

This statistical program records Canada's annual exports and imports of services by type of service rendered and by partner country. Quarterly estimates of Canada's international trade in services are available through Canada's Balance of International Payments (record no. 1534). The quarterly estimates, however, contain far less details in terms of type of services rendered and partner countries.

Additional information

Objective of the survey: The survey data you provide are used to produce estimates of Canada's Balance of International Payments and Investment Position. Such estimates are used as a major input in the conduct of monetary and exchange rate policies by the Government of Canada. Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.
