Your participation matters

The census helps paint a statistical portrait of Canada's diverse population and the places where we live by collecting demographic, social and economic information from households across Canada.

Canadians rely on census data for information that support important decisions that affect Canadian families, communities and businesses. The information you provide ensures that the census accurately reflects Canada's changing society. Your responses are vital for planning services that support employment, education, public transportation, health care, and more.

How to complete the 2026 Census

All Canadian households receive a census invitation letter in the mail with instructions on how to complete their questionnaire online at census.gc.ca.
