Ethnic or cultural origin reflects the ethnic or cultural origins of a person's ancestors and is self-reported. Read more

“n.o.s.” means “not otherwise specified”: a broader group reported without a specific subcategory. “n.i.e.” means “not included elsewhere”: a residual catch-all for entries outside the main published list. Read more

Percentages are computed only over the population in private households, which excludes residents of collective dwellings such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, prisons, and university residences. A dissemination area dominated by such a facility can have a much smaller percentage denominator than its overall population suggests.

These estimates come from the long-form questionnaire, which was distributed to a 25% sample of private households. They are subject to sampling variability and may differ from a full enumeration. Read more

To protect confidentiality, Statistics Canada randomly rounds census counts up or down to a multiple of 5 or 10. Totals are rounded independently of their parts, so sub-totals may not match the total and percentages may not add up to 100%. Read more
