Statistics Canada has announced that the collection phase of the 2016 Census is now complete and the overall response rate of 98.4 percent.
“The 2016 Census will provide high-quality information for virtually all communities across Canada,” said Chief Statistician Wayne R. Smith. “We thank Canadians for making this the best census since 1666.”
First results from the Census will be published in February 2017 and continue until November 2017.
