About Us
Service Quality

Results for Canadians commits the Government of Canada to achieve a significant, quantifiable improvement in client satisfaction with its services over the next five years. To deliver on this commitment, the Treasury Board has approved a five-year Service Improvement Initiative with a target of a minimum 10% improvement in Canadians' satisfaction with the delivery of key Government services by 2005.

A 2004 client satisfaction survey conducted on ACOA’s behalf measured 36 aspects of service delivery in three core areas: Service Delivery, Access to ACOA Services, and Communicating with ACOA.

Since the first survey, the Agency has taken steps to improve service to its clients. This is evident when comparing the following core indicators which measure outcomes. These indicators facilitate benchmarking and comparing results across organizations.
