Longitudinal Administrative Databank

Description: The Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD) is a longitudinal file designed as a research tool on income and demographics. It comprises a 20% sample of the annual T1 Family File (record number 4105). The longitudinal LAD file contains many annual demographic variables about the individuals represented, including the landing year of recent immigrants and an immigration flag, and annual income information for both the individual and their census family in that year. Since 2017, a linking key variable is available on the Longitudinal Immigration Database (record number 5057) which permits researchers to link all key characteristics of those tax filing immigrants on the Longitudinal Immigration Database to their records on the LAD, from 1982 onward.
