What it does
Through the Cost-Recovered Statistical Services program, Statistics Canada conducts special surveys to gather new data; produces high-quality statistics that are currently not part of the agency’s data holdings; and conducts on-demand special analytical projects to meet specific needs of federal, provincial and territorial institutions and other clients.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost-Recovered Statistical Services | This program | 2018-19 – 2028-29 | $97.1M |
No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.
Significant changes in scope and budget
Detected from the data: renames between plans, programs it appears to replace, merge with or split into (matched by name), year-over-year changes in spending of at least 25% and $5M, or in employees of at least 20% and 25 FTEs, linked budget measures, and results indicators added or dropped.
| Year | What changed | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2019-20 | Spending $13.9M, against $1.8M in 2018-19 (+656%). | Actual spending (GC InfoBase) |
| 2023-24 | Employees (FTEs) 1,322, against 1,785 in 2022-23 (−26%). | FTEs (GC InfoBase) |
Success criteria

| Report year | Target | Due | Result | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018-19 | — | 2019 | 96% No target was set for 2018–19 since baseline information was not available until June 2019. | No result reported |
| 2019-20 | ≥ 90% | 2020 | 83% The change in the results over time can be attributed to natural variance in the data as the sample size for this program is small. Significance testing was conducted on the results and it concluded there was no statistical significance in the change. | Not met |
