Reasons why the questions are asked
Reasons why we ask the questions
WHAT IS A CENSUS?
A census provides a statistical portrait of a country and its people. In Canada, it is mandatory for all residents to participate in the census.
WHY IS THE CENSUS IMPORTANT?
Census information is used to make many important decisions for your neighbourhood, your province or territory, and the entire country. Governments, businesses, associations, and community organizations are among the many thousands of census data users.
STEP A – We need your telephone number to contact you should you forget to provide information on your questionnaire. We need your address to ensure that all dwellings are counted.
STEP B and C – These steps help you decide who you should include and who you should not include on your form. They help ensure everyone we need to count is counted, and that no one is counted twice.
STEP D – This step tells us if someone in your household operates a farm. It also ensures that we count all farms for the Census of Agriculture.
STEP E – The spaces provided in Question 1 at the top of page 4 let you copy the names from Step B.
BASIC POPULATION INFORMATION
Questions 2 to 6 provide information about the living arrangements of people in Canada, family size, the number of children living with one parent or two parents, and the number of people who live alone. This information is used for planning social programs, such as Old Age Security and the Child Tax Benefit. It is also used by communities to plan services such as daycare centres, schools and senior citizens' residences.
Questions 7, 8 and 9 provide information to determine the need for language services in English and French according to the Official Languages Act, and are used to implement programs that protect the rights of Canadians under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Question 10 ensures that each person is given the opportunity to make an informed decision about what happens to their personal census information. Only if you answer “Yes” to this question will your 2011 Census information be released in 92 years.
