Learn about the census
The census provides a statistical portrait of Canada’s population and communities. It is the basis for population estimates for provinces, territories and municipal areas.
Census data help governments, non-profits and businesses make informed decisions. This is especially important for communities with small populations or small geographic areas.
Census estimates also allow the Government of Canada to:
- estimate demand for services;
- calculate federal funding for provinces and territories; and
- set electoral boundaries with fair representation.
You can learn more about the census on the StatCan website.
