Warning

In 2016, Statistics Canada has reinstated the mandatory long-form census. A sample of 25% of Canadian households (1/4) received a long-form questionnaire. All other households received a short-form questionnaire.

For the 2016 Census, Statistics Canada created a new geographic unit: the Aggregate Dissemination Area (ADA). The ADA data tables are distributed by MRC (see profiles).

Documentation

All documentation relating to the 2016 Census is available online in the webpage from Statistics Canada.
