You will find below an invitation from Statistics Canada to participate in a crowdsourcing collection initiative on how COVID-19 is impacting students. We encourage all students to take part. The data you provide will be helpful for making future plans.

Invitation from Statistics Canada: Statistics Canada is collecting data on the Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on postsecondary students.

Your participation is important: Your voice matters

You can provide your perspective on the current crisis, by letting us know how your studies, financial situation and other aspects of your life have been affected by the pandemic.  Please take five minutes to participate in this crowdsourcing data collection, and feel free to forward this email to other postsecondary students—the more people that 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
