Description

The 2022 IPS is a national survey of First Nations people living off reserve, Métis and Inuit. The 2022 IPS represents the sixth cycle of the survey and focuses on social and economic outcomes related to education, employment, health and access to services. It will continue to collect important information concerning Indigenous people such as language, harvesting, handcrafting and cultural activities, housing and mobility.

The IPS provides key statistics to inform policy and programming activities aimed at improving the well-being of Indigenous Peoples. It is a valuable source of information for a variety of stakeholders, including Indigenous organizations, communities, service providers, researchers, governments, and the general public.

The survey is carried out by Statistics Canada with funding provided by three federal departments: Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, Indigenous Services Canada, and Employment and Social Development Canada.
