2021 Census

The 2021 Census is a nationwide survey conducted every ten years to collect detailed data about Canada’s population and households. It helps governments, organizations, and researchers understand demographic trends, language use, employment, housing, and cultural diversity. Participants provide information voluntarily, which is then used to inform public policies, allocate resources, and plan services. The 2021 Census aimed to reflect the changing demographics and ensure accurate representation of all communities across Canada. Data collection was primarily done online, with options for paper forms, maintaining confidentiality and privacy standards.
