About Us

TNS Canadian Facts is one of Canada's largest marketing and social research firms. Our roots go back to 1932 when Canadian Facts was established as the country's first survey research organization. Today, we are a modern Canadian giant in marketing and opinion research with offices in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver, and 170 full-time members of staff.

We are a TNS company, North America’s largest custom marketing research firm and the world’s largest provider of Internet-based custom marketing research. TNS is one of the world's leading market information groups, providing market measurement, analysis and insight in more than 110 countries.

Over our long corporate history, our primary activity has remained the same: the conduct of research investigations to provide our public and private sector clients with information and strategic direction. Our clients' businesses are varied. At any one time we might be working in banking, health policy, transportation and packaged goods. We might be carrying out a longitudinal five-year evaluation on the effects of a social policy initiative, as well as a two-week assessment of new advertising creative.

We take great pride in providing practical, efficient, results-oriented research. Our clients have come to recognize this in their dealings with us, and we feel it has contributed to the development of relationships that span decades. Our clients are small local companies, public sector organizations, and large national and international enterprises who value the thoughtful strategic counsel that comes with extensive experience and deep knowledge.

Marketing and opinion research has grown dramatically in Canada since 1932. Throughout the years, we remained committed to the needs of our clients and dedicated to the development of progressive research systems. As a result, TNS Canadian Facts continues to be the country's most respected organization of its kind.
