Census and the National Household Survey
The information previously collected by the long-form Census questionnaire was collected in 2011 as part of the voluntary National Household Survey. In 2016, Statistics Canada restored the mandatory long-form Census questionnaire in an effort to improve data collection. Readers should be aware that releases from the 2016 Census will reflect the long-form Census and are anticipated to be more comprehensive than those of the 2011 National Household Survey.
Note: All data in the backgrounders are based on geographic boundaries available at time of writing. In the event of any future boundary revisions, some data totals may change.
