When and how people access services

The first experience matters the most

With 88% of Canadians interacting with government services 0 to 2 times a year, there aren’t chances to get comfortable with interfaces and processes.

Digital does not always deliver

87% of Canadians say they are comfortable using digital technologies. 36% say that "in-person" is one of their preferred ways to access information.

What people want from experiences

Simplicity

Make it easy for people to get the help and outcomes they need.

Humanity

Strike the right balance between digital and human interactions, serving with empathy.

Security

Strengthen security practices to grow confidence in government as a service provider and employer.
