Canada Census 2026

The Census of Population helps paint a statistical portrait of Canada's diverse population and the places where we live by collecting demographic, social and economic information from households across Canada. In fact, census information can help communities plan services such as childcare, education, and healthcare.

To help carry out this important national initiative, Statistics Canada is hiring approximately 32,000 people across Canada to support the 2026 Census. By joining the census team, you’ll play a key role in ensuring every person is counted and all regions are represented.
