The 2021 census was taken in May 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people were temporarily working from home. Compare with 2016 with caution.

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
