Toronto 5th, May 2021 – Every five years, the government of Canada conducts a national census and starting today the 2021 census is underway. The census helps the government plan for the future with regards to health care, public transit and education and everyone must take part. At least 75 per cent of Canadians will get the short-form census that takes a few minutes to answer. The remaining 25 per cent will be asked to fill out a long-form version with a detailed questionnaire which will take about half an hour to complete. The census will help the government plan for the future and also give a snap shot of how Canadians fared during COVID-19.
