Job Vacancy and Wage Survey, 2015

Introduction (JVI) - Question identifier:JVI_R01

Why we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada to provide valuable information on labour market demand. It will collect information from Canadian employers on job vacancies for all occupations from all industries.

The survey will provide reliable, comparable data on job vacancies to support decision-making by job seekers, students, employers and policy makers. Labour market data help Canadians make informed training and education decisions and find a job that matches their skills. The survey will provide reliable, comparable information on job vacancies and wages, and will be useful in identifying current and emerging labour market pressures.

As a respondent, you will benefit from completing this questionnaire since you will be able to use aggregate survey results to establish benchmarks for your business.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

You are legally required to complete this questionnaire according to the Statistics Act.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada
Care of Director, Labour Statistics Division
150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, ON
K1A 0T6

You can also contact the Director of Labour Statistics Division, by email (labour@statcan.gc.ca ) or telephone (1-866-873-8788).

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, as well as with Employment and Social Development Canada.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Introduction (JVI) - Question identifier:JVI_R05

Answering this questionnaire

For this questionnaire
Please report job vacancies [at the location]
(Operating Address).

Reporting instructions

Report the number of job vacancies and specify characteristics of these jobs, including occupation, offered wage or salary, minimum level of education and work experience sought among candidates.

For this survey, a job is vacant if it meets all of the following criteria:


1. You were doing active external recruitment on [Reference Month] 1.
2. The job vacancy is [at the location] [Operating Address].

Which job vacancies should I include for this location?
For this survey, Statistics Canada is asking for the number of job vacancies only at the address provided. Do not include vacancies at any other location your business or organization may have.
• If your business or organization has more than one work site, such as a head office and three branches:
• If the address provided is for the head office, report the job vacancies at this address only. Do not include vacancies at the three branches.
• If the address provided is for a branch, report the job vacancies at this location. Do not include vacancies at the head office or the other two branches.
• If the vacant job requires that the employee works at home or on the road, such as a truck driver, please include this job only if the address provided is the location to which the employee will report.

3. The job is vacant on [Reference Month] 1 or will be vacant during the month. (There is work to accomplish this month, regardless of the ability to hire quickly.)

How to determine whether a job is vacant?
To determine whether a job is vacant during the month, ask yourself the following questions: "If a candidate were selected, hired and available to start during the month, would the job be available? Would a new employee have tasks to perform?" In determining this, you must not take into account the ability to hire quickly.

Here are two examples of jobs that are not vacant, and therefore should not be reported for this survey:

Example 1: An employee holds a position, but will be leaving in three months. You are therefore actively looking for a candidate who could replace that person. The person would not start work this month. For the purposes of this survey, this job is not vacant.

Example 2: On the first day of the month, you are actively recruiting externally to create a list of potential candidates. You have not identified a specific job to be filled within the month, but the list will be useful to quickly meet any labour requirements, when necessary. For the purposes of this survey, this is not a job vacancy.

4. The job is not reserved for subcontractors, external consultants or other workers who are not considered to be employees.

Please ensure to include all full-time, part-time, permanent, temporary, casual and seasonal jobs that meet the above four criteria.
