Canadian College Student Survey, 2006 [Canada]

The survey collects data on college students' income, expenditures and use of time. The survey is unique in that it provides national-level information on the challenges Canadian college students face in terms of financial and access issues.

The objectives of the research are to: provide national-level data on student access; time use and financing for Canadian college students from participating colleges; identify issues particular to certain learner groups and/or regions; and provide each institution with top-line survey results (based on representative samples of their students); which may then be compared against the "national average". In January 2003, the Foundation engaged Prairie Research Associates (PRA) Inc. to oversee this research.
