Statistics Canada is dedicated to an inclusive work environment where employees are treated equitably and reflect the Canadian population we ultimately serve. We are a competent, engaged and productive workforce. We embrace new ways of working and encourage a diversity of talent to help fulfill Statistics Canada’s mandate to the highest standards.

Statistics Canada conducts the Census of Population in order to develop a statistical portrait of Canada and Canadians on one specific day. The census is designed to provide information about people and housing units in Canada by their demographic, social and economic characteristics.

The Census of Population is a reliable basis for the estimation of the population of the provinces, territories and municipal areas. The information collected is related to federal and provincial legislative measures and provides a basis for the distribution of federal transfer payments. The census also provides information about the characteristics of the population and its housing within small geographic areas and for small population groups to support planning, administration, policy development and evaluation activities of governments at all levels, as well as data users in the private sector.
