The 2026 Census has begun, and we need your support!
Census data are critical to decision makers and Canadians from coast to coast to coast. The Census of Population provides high-quality information on key socioeconomic trends and analysis that helps Canadians make important decisions that affect our families, our communities and our businesses.
The 2026 Census is underway across the country and households received a census invitation letter by mail with information on how to complete their questionnaire. Completing the census questionnaire online is easy, secure and confidential. Respondents without reliable access to the Internet can request a paper questionnaire or complete it over the phone by calling the Census Help Line.
