Quiz yourself with our game to discover your economic profile and how it compares with those of other Canadians.

Curious about your role in the Canadian economy? Plug in a few facts about yourself and compare them with national and regional data from across Canada. At the end, your profile, as well as your place in the economy, will be revealed.

Launch the game.

This quiz is optimized for web browsers on desktops, tablets and phones.

About this game

You will be asked:

  • Where you live
  • Your situation (studying, in the workforce, etc.)
  • what field you currently or would like to work in
  • how you spend your income across categories such as shelter, food and recreation

This quiz takes less than five minutes to complete. No personal data is collected or stored.
