Each year, I show how the CVITP is evolving using updated figures from the Canada Revenue Agency.  With the recent release of the 2025 data, I have completed a review of the trends for the 2017-2025 period.  This information is now available as a series of four short articles.

In the first article, I look at the results from delivering CVITP service.  I present and analyze the numbers for people assisted, returns filed and value generated for clients.  In the second article, I examine the infrastructure supporting CVITP service delivery.  I present and analyze the numbers for the recruitment of volunteers and host organizations.  In the third article, I use two simple measures to examine volunteer and host organization productivity.  Finally, I extrapolate from these trends to what will likely happen in the 2026 season.

New features this year include graphing of trends, comparisons of real and nominal value generated for clients, and separate sections on the data, their sources, the limitations inherent in the data and any assumptions I make when analyzing the data.  The summary of my findings together with links to all the articles can be found here.
