Most of the content on this site, with the exception of the statistical tables, can be viewed with most recent web browsers. To view the statistical tables on this site, you must use one of the following Javascript-enabled Web browsers:
- Internet Explorer 5.0 or a later version
- Netscape 7.0 or later
- Mozilla, Firefox or other similar browsers.
These work best on a Windows-equipped PC. Preliminary testing of similar browsers on other computing platforms (e.g., Macintosh, Linux) has shown a strong possibility of reduced or no access to the tables. These restrictions are due to the requirements of the software used to display the tables.
other software
- Adobe Acrobat Reader -- required to read documents in .pdf found on or through this site.
- Beyond 20/20 browser -- required to view tables downloaded as .ivt files. A licensed version of the browser (with installation instructions) can be downloaded from Statistics Canada.
