Canada's 2021 Census

Tuesday 11 May 2021 is census day in Canada.

Statistics Canada has published the 2021 Census of Population short-form (2A) and long-form (2A-L, 2A-R) questionnaires.

As in 2016, you will probably complete and file your census return online.

What about the impact of COVID-19? 

 The Chief Statistician wrote in July 2020:

The COVID-19 pandemic is now very much a reality for Canadians, disrupting life as we know it, and changing many things we had taken for granted. It has certainly created a number of issues for the 2021 Census of Population, as Statistics Canada was in the final stages of preparing for data collection when it struck the country in 2020. The Census Program adapted to the situation to ensure that the 2021 Census of Population is conducted throughout the country in the best possible way, using a safe and contactless approach.
