As with the colonial censuses, enumerators asked households a series of questions, as opposed to individuals filling out the census forms themselves.
A total of questions were asked. According to the British North America Act of , representation in the federal House of Commons was to be based on population. Census data would indicate how many members of parliament should be elected from each region based on the number of people who lived there.
The first census of Canada as a country of 10 provinces and two territories at the time, Nunavut was still a part of the Northwest Territories occurred in , with Newfoundland having joined Confederation in In , continuing demand for population data led to the establishment of a permanent Census and Statistics Office under the Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture was responsible for statistics, immigration and public health at various times during the decades after Confederation.
Following recommendations of a review commission in , the Office of Dominion Statistician was created in Afterwards, the government formed the Dominion Bureau of Statistics in In it changed its name to Statistics Canada.
Since , the Census of Population has involved two components: a short-form census and a long-form census. Today, the short form collects data from about 75 per cent of the Canadian population, while the long form is distributed to approximately 25 per cent of households.
The shorter questionnaire is limited to questions about age, sex, gender, marital status and mother tongue. The question about gender was new to the census. Previously, respondents could only identify themselves as male or female. By comparison, in the census asked a question about sex at birth and a separate question about gender. Significantly more detailed, the longer questionnaire includes all questions on the short form, as well as questions regarding ethnic origin, Indigenous ancestry, visible minorities , changes in residence, education, health, employment and the home the respondent lives in.
Both questionnaires are mandatory and are collected every five years. In addition to the Census of Population, a Census of Agriculture is also taken every five years. As with the Census of Population, completing the Census of Agriculture is mandatory. Like the population questionnaire, the Census of Agriculture was originally conducted every 10 years. However, rapid growth of the prairie provinces led to its completion every five years in Manitoba beginning in , and in Alberta and Saskatchewan beginning in In , the Census of Agriculture began to be conducted every five years in all Canadian provinces.
Census data are supplemented and updated through numerous ongoing surveys. Some are monthly e. In addition, Statistics Canada relies on the collection of many administrative records for defining survey samples, checking the accuracy of statistics, direct tabulation, and supplementing other data. These administrative records include vital statistics births, deaths and marriages , individual and corporate tax statements, immigration, and health and crime reports.
On 26 June , the Conservative government, under the leadership of Stephen Harper , announced that the long-form census would not be used in The NHS was a questionnaire similar to the long form, but one that could be filled on a voluntary, rather than mandatory, basis.
The NHS would be distributed to 30 per cent of households as opposed to 20 per cent the long form sample size used during the census. The government cited respecting the privacy wishes of Canadians as the reason for their decision, despite the established practice of removing all personal identifiers from census data.
The decision resulted in public controversy, with widespread criticism from social scientists and others. In , Munir Sheikh, head of Statistics Canada, resigned in protest. Critics noted that a voluntary survey would mean a decline in data quality, while an increased sample size would mean a rise in cost. When the results of the NHS survey were tabulated, the response rate was This was significantly less than the Shortly thereafter, on 5 November , the Liberals announced that the census would reinstate the long- form census.
The census was conducted with procedures similar to the and early censuses. Both the Census of Population and Census of Agriculture are collected every five years. This frequency began in Prior to that both censuses were conducted every 10 years. Between and , mid-decade censuses were shorter and less detailed. The census was the first mid-decade census to repeat most of the questions asked five years earlier.
Censuses in Canada have collected different data at different times.
