The #2026Census has begun! Look for your census letter in the mail. Census data paint a portrait of Canadians and their stories – from small communities to entire provinces and territories. Complete your census today at census.gc.ca.

There’s still time! May 12th is Census day, but you can complete your questionnaire into July.

Short I assume, but I wouldn't even qualify it as a short, to me the info it asked for was the pure basics any survey would ask me before asking me real questions.

yea, that's the basic short form census, same i got.

I used to be a census take for the government in my teens, and helped people do the long form. The questions you are asking for are all there, while the short form is much more of a basic population count.

I wish we were given the choice on which one to do. Considering it's mandatory to do the census it would show the government how much of the population actually gives a fuck
