The #2026Census has begun! Look for your census letter in the mail. Census data paint a portrait of Canadians and their stories – from small communities to entire provinces and territories. Complete your census today at census.gc.ca.
There’s still time! May 12th is Census day, but you can complete your questionnaire into July.


Unfortunately that would also skew the results quite a bit. We’d end up only having actual data on the types of people who volunteer for the long form.
I say this as someone who would gladly do the long form every time (only gotten that lucky once so far but it was a lovely experience).
Could still require some people to do long form and for the rest make which version optional.
