The Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada issued this June 2025 report of the Sky Canada Project, which reviewed how public reports of unidentified aerial phenomena are handled in Canada. It finds no cohesive, standardized reporting system, no official public platform, limited analysis and little scientific involvement. It compares approaches in the United States, France and Chile, includes a commissioned public survey, and makes fourteen recommendations, including naming a lead federal agency, creating a dedicated reporting service and cooperating with AARO, NASA, GEIPAN and SEFAA.

The survey, which was completed by 1,008 members of Leger’s online panel be- tween August 15 and 27, 2024, took approximately 8 minutes to complete. Respondents to the survey were selected among individuals who volunteered or registered to participate in online surveys. To enhance methodological rigour and ensure the sample resembled the broader population, the data were weighted by age, gender and region to align with the Canadian population (18+), based on current Statistics Canada figures. The handling of this non-probability sample aligns with the Standards for the Conduct of Government of Canada Public Opinion Research – Online Surveys. Note that the results of such self-selected participant surveys cannot be described as statistically projectable to the entire Canadian population. The main survey results are presented in the charts below, grouped in four categories. 1. Perceptions of UAPs Chart 1: Overall, how concerned, if at all, would you say you are with UAPs observed over Canadian territory?
