Government of Canada - Foreign Payments

The Government of Canada - Foreign Payments dataset presents volumes and amounts of foreign payments processed through the Receiver General on behalf of client departments, agencies and crown corporations. The dataset represents a comprehensive monthly snapshot of foreign payment transactions processed though the Receiver General within the following payment types: Direct Deposit (DD), Foreign Wire Payments and Cheques. The data is separated into two major categories: volume and amount. Volume refers to the total number of individual transaction processed by the Receiver General (for each department). Amount refers to the total dollar value of transactions processed by the Receiver General expressed in Canadian dollars. Both volume and amounts represent monthly totals and are presented for each category and are grouped by department.
