The 2021 Census is here – Check your mail!
Every five years, residents of Canada 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 provides information that helps Canadians make important decisions that affect our families, our neighbourhoods and our businesses.
The information you provide ensures that the 2021 Census accurately reflects Canada’s changing society. Your responses are important to your community for planning services that support employment, schools, public transportation and hospitals.
