Please note that some discontinued series contain more historical data. Source advises to use caution when comparing these series to their current counterparts due to methodological differences.
The monthly Building Permits Survey conducted by Statistics Canada collects data on the value of permits issued by Canadian municipalities for both residential and non-residential buildings, and the number of residential dwellings authorized. The survey is a census with a cross-sectional design. Data are collected for all units of the target population, therefore no sampling is done.

Yes - Monthly preliminary estimates are provided for the reference month and revised estimates based on late responses are provided for the previous month. The seasonally adjusted data also need to be revised, in part, to reflect revisions identified for the raw data. Thus, with the release of each month of new data, the seasonally adjusted values for the previous month are also revised.
