The 2011 Census : keep an eye on your mailbox!
Canada’s next census will be held in May 2011
Early in May, yellow census packages will be delivered to every dwelling in Canada, providing residents the information they need to complete the census online or on paper. Completed questionnaires will provide valuable information that will be used by all levels of government to make decisions about your neighbourhood and community. Census information is important for all communities and is vital for planning services such as schools, daycare, police services and fire protection. Everybody, including foreign students, must take part in the 2011 Census.
Students’ enumeration
Some situations will determine how students must complete their questionnaire. If every individual in the household is living there full-time, everybody must be included on the questionnaire delivered at this address and all questions must be answered. If one of the following situations applies to you, you can visit our website for more information:
- you are living away from home and you are returning to your parents’ house between semesters
- you are living in a school residence
- you will be working in a different city on May 10th 2011
- you will be travelling away from home on May 10th 2011
