Introduction

Purpose

This statistical program records Canada's annual exports (also referred to as sales or receipts) and imports (also referred to as purchases or payments) 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 number 1534). Monthly statistics on Canada's international trade in services are published alongside International merchandise trade statistics roughly 50 days after the close of the reference month. These monthly estimates are largely derived from statistical models, by distributing the projected quarterly values using different indicators of monthly movement of the service components.

Statistics Canada also provides two supplementary sets of statistics regarding trade in services: Trade in information and communications technologies (ICT) and ICT-enabled services (currently available from 2007 to 2021) and Trade in commercial services by enterprise characteristics (STEC) (currently available from 2010 to 2020).

Trade in ICT services statistics and STEC data are part of a larger statistical agenda to enhance international trade in services statistics to better understand Canada's role in the digital economy. Trade in ICT and ICT-enabled services provides information on services that can be delivered remotely over ICT networks. Trade in commercial services by enterprise characteristics (STEC) breaks down traditional services trade statistics by enterprise size class and enterprise industry. This information can help to address questions such as the role of goods-producing industries in the export and import of services.

Additional information

The objective of the survey is to obtain information on Canada's international transactions in transportation services for the compilation of Canada's Balance of International Payments and the Gross Domestic Product. Such statistics are used as a major input in the conduct of monetary and exchange rate policies. Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.
