Canadian guides

Where the figures for canadian guides come from, how they were collected, and what checking every source link found. Used on /ca/guides.

Last updated October 31, 2026.

How the figures were collected

A guide answers one question people bring from social media ("do Grade 11 marks matter", "is day trading a real career"). Its prose is written from the sources listed at the end of the guide: for admissions questions, the universities' own applicant pages and the application centre; for careers, the same career files as the rest of the site, so the figures a guide quotes are the figures on the career page it links.

Every guide carries its checked date. A guide section about a career names that career's page, and the build fails if the career does not exist.

In numbers

Pages with sources	19
Citations	301
Distinct source links	201
Sites cited	111

Every link, checked

Checked October 31, 2026: one request per link, as "ClaudeBot (research for career.help)", robots.txt honoured, no retries. A site that refuses automated visitors is recorded as refused, not retried under another name.

Reachable	154
Moved (redirects)	4
Refused automated check	43

The full result for this part, one line per link, is in the downloadable spreadsheet: check-2026-10-31.csv (all parts, with the page that cites each link in the inventory file beside it).

Links that did not answer or refused (43)

Each with the page that cites it. "Refused" means the site blocks our link checker; the figure was read when it was collected, from the page itself or from a dated archived copy, and a person opening it in a browser is noted where that happened. "Not reachable" links are being replaced or removed.

Every site cited (111)

Most cited first: every site with three or more links, and the first two hundred in any case. The rest are sites cited once or twice (a regulator's page, one school's calendar); every one of their links is on the page that cites it and in the spreadsheet above.
