Canadian Financial Capability Survey  2014 
The Canadian Financial Capability Survey (CFCS) was conducted by Statistics Canada from May 14, to
June 21, 2014 with the cooperation and support of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC).
This manual has been produced to facilitate the manipulation of the microdata file of the survey results.
The Canadian Financial Capability Survey was a voluntary survey.
The 2014 version of the Canadian Financial Capability Survey (CFCS) is the second time this survey has
been administered. The first CFCS was collected in 2009. The need for this survey was brought about
by changing economic conditions and the variety and complexity of financial products available. It can be
very difficult for the average investor to understand the risks, fees and potential returns of investing and
borrowing. Policy makers foresee a need for more knowledgeable financial consumers who will be able to
effectively look after their own interests in increasingly complex financial markets.
