Coverage
Our Canada RDD sample connects with 33 million individuals for your research.
In Canada, the use of landline numbers has been steadily declining over the years, with more and more people opting for mobile phones as their primary means of communication. According to a report released by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in 2020, landline penetration has dropped to just 19% of households, while mobile phone penetration has reached 87%. One of the main reasons for this shift is the convenience and flexibility that mobile phones offer. With a mobile phone, Canadians can stay connected wherever they go, whether they are at home, at work, or on the go. Additionally, mobile phone plans often include features such as unlimited calling and texting, making them a cost-effective choice for many consumers. While landline numbers are still used in some households, particularly among older Canadians who may be more comfortable with traditional phone systems, it is clear that mobile phones have become the preferred choice for the majority of the population. As technology continues to advance, it is likely that the use of landline numbers will continue to decline in Canada, further solidifying the dominance of mobile phones in the telecommunications market.
