About This Data
Data Sources

Services trade data is sourced from two Statistics Canada tables: Table 36-10-0007 (international trade in services by country, 85 countries, 4 categories, 1990–2024) and Table 12-10-0145 (commercial services detail, 84 countries, 17 subcategories, 2010–2024). Data was compiled using automated processes and may contain errors. Contact us if you notice any errors.

Service Categories

Services trade is classified into four broad categories: • Commercial Services — Business, professional, technical, computer, financial, and other commercial services (largest category, ~64% of total) • Travel — Spending by Canadian travellers abroad (imports) or foreign visitors in Canada (exports) • Transportation — Freight, passenger, and other transport services • Government Services — Government goods and services not included elsewhere The Commercial Detail tab breaks commercial services into 17 subcategories including computer & information, financial, management, R&D, and others.

Coverage & Currency

Canada-level data only — no provincial breakdown is available for international services. All values are in current Canadian dollars (nominal, not inflation-adjusted). Source values are reported in millions CAD and converted to raw dollars for consistency with goods data.

Known Limitations

• No provincial breakdown — services trade is reported at the national level only • Commercial subcategory data begins in 2010 (the broader 4-category data starts from 1990) • Services trade measurement relies on surveys and estimates, unlike customs-based goods data
