Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2010
Status: This standard was replaced by the 'Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2011' as of February 20, 2012.
The Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) is Statistics Canada's official classification of countries and areas of interest for use in classifying statistical data. The SCCAI provides a list of the names of countries or areas of interest in alphabetical order, with their corresponding three-digit numerical codes, two-character alpha codes and three-character alpha codes. In addition to the list of countries and areas of interest, a classification variant for social statistics data is included. The hierarchical structure of the classification shows the relationship between these geographic areas.
The Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2010 is based on the International Standard for country codes ISO 3166-1:2006 including changes announced in newsletters which update the currently valid ISO standard. The list was also updated for consistency with government of Canada norms.
