2026 Census: Early Collection Starts in Canada's North
Ottawa, Ontario - Statistics Canada is pleased to announce that collection for the 2026 Census of Population has begun in select communities in northern and remote areas of the country. For the rest of Canada, it will begin in May 2026.
Every five years, Canadians are invited to participate in the census to help paint a portrait of Canada's population, allowing us to better understand Canada's changing society. It is the most comprehensive set of data collected specifically for many communities.
Households in select northern and remote communities will soon have a census invitation letter delivered to their door by an enumerator. For those respondents who are unable to access the online questionnaire, they can receive assistance from an enumerator to complete their census.
The census questions have been translated into 15 Indigenous languages to help respondents to complete their questionnaire.
