Canadian Foreign Post Indexes
Abstract
These indexes are calculated to establish and adjust post living allowances paid to Canadian government employees serving outside of Canada. They are comparative measurements that numerically express the difference between the retail prices of a representative basket of goods and services at a foreign location with prices for a similar basket of goods and services in Ottawa.
Four separate reports are provided to reflect the specific terms and conditions of service for these personnel. A description of each report is provided below.
Foreign Service Directives Post Indexes
These indexes are calculated for personnel serving under the terms and conditions of the Foreign Service Directives (FSDs). They reflect circumstances for personnel who may have access to certain goods and services that are free of duties or taxes or to sources of supply that are not available to the general public. Where employees do not have (either directly or indirectly) duty-free purchasing privileges, departmental administrators must consult with Statistics Canada to calculate an additional index to reflect the specific circumstances in effect at that post.
Canadian International Development Agency Post Indexes
These indexes are calculated for co-operants and advisers serving under the Technical Assistance Regulations (TARs), whose terms and conditions are governed by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
Military Post Indexes
These indexes are calculated for military personnel serving under the terms and conditions of the Military Foreign Service Regulations (MFSRs). They reflect circumstances for personnel who may have access to sources of supply that are not available to the general public. These personnel also may have access to certain goods and services that are free of duties or taxes or may be provided with supplies or allowances by the Department of National Defence or the United Nations. The indexes in this listing are not appropriate for use by non-military personnel.
Post Indexes for Non-government Organizations
These indexes are calculated for persons who do not have special access privileges, and may be used by non-government organizations. Interested users should contact Statistics Canada to ensure the use of these indexes is appropriate for their needs. Customized indexes that reflect specific circumstances can be produced.
