Every five years, Canadians participate in the national census to provide a comprehensive snapshot of the country’s population and agriculture.
The upcoming 2026 Census of Population, Canada’s 24th, is scheduled for May 2026.
By completing the census, Canadians contribute vital data that informs decisions affecting employment, education, healthcare, and public transportation.
In select northern and remote communities, census collection has already begun to ensure accurate representation.
Participation is mandatory under the Statistics Act, emphasizing the importance of every response in shaping Canada’s future.
