Every five years, Canadians are invited to participate in the census to help paint a portrait of Canada's diverse population and the places where we live.
The Census of Population provides high-quality information on key socioeconomic trends and analysis that helps Canadians make important decisions that affect our families, our neighbourhoods and our businesses.
The Census of Agriculture is conducted at the same time and collects information about every agricultural operation in Canada. Read further detail in the following article: New Agriculture census faster and easier for farmers to complete.
The next Census of Population and Census of Agriculture will take place on May 11, 2021.
You can also complete your census questionnaire online today on the census home page. It is an easy, secure and convenient option that can be used anywhere, anytime. No pre-registration or lengthy download processes are required.
