Overview
Through a financial contribution from the Canadian Institute of Actuaries and the Society of Actuaries, the Canadian mortality series in the Human Mortality Database (HMD, www.mortality.org) has been updated to include revised data for 2017-2019 and new data for 2020 and 2021. The same data was used to update the Canadian Human Mortality Database (CHMD, http://www.bdlc.umontreal.ca/CHMD/). This report presents the background and processes for extending the data series in each of the databases.
