Statistics Canada has launched a survey to understand the Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on postsecondary students. The survey is now live and can be accessed here.
The survey is open until May 1, 2020.
The purpose of the survey is to provide early insight into the educational, employment and financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on postsecondary students. Students will be asked about concerns regarding their academic future, and the financial strain of paying for tuition, rent and other expenses as a result of the pandemic.
A copy of the questionnaire in html is available here.
This survey is delivered online only, and uses a crowdsourcing methodology.
All students are encouraged to take part. The data they provide will be helpful for making future plans.
Students can provide their perspective on the current crisis, by letting Statistics Canada know how their studies, financial situation and other aspects of their life have been affected by the pandemic.
Please take five minutes to participate in this crowdsourcing data collection, and feel free to forward this to other postsecondary students—the more people who participate, the better the data.
Results from this survey will be used by governments and other organizations to evaluate the need for services and assistance programs to support postsecondary students during and after the pandemic.
Participating is easy and secure.
