Thousands of census employees across the country are helping collect data that are vital to improving the lives of Canadians. These are your family, friends or neighbours making a difference for your community.
If you haven't completed your questionnaire yet and we follow up with you, here’s how to recognize official census communications:
📩 Reminder letters will be sent by mail or delivered in person, which will contain a secure access code to complete the census questionnaire online.
🪪 In person follow-ups will be conducted by employees with an identification card.
📱 Text message reminders may also be sent from the text message short code number 236732.
📞 If a follow-up phone call to a household is needed, the census employees will identify themselves clearly.
