Conducted every five years, the Canadian Census of Population is a major undertaking whose planning and implementation spans a period of over eight years. The census is unique because it is the only source of detailed socio-economic and demographic data on small geographical areas including neighbourhoods and communities. In order to ensure that the population and dwelling counts and the data on the characteristics of the population and dwellings are of sufficiently high quality, a diversified quality assurance programme has been developed over the last few censuses. During these censuses, changes and additions were made to the quality assurance programme in the light of operational, technological and methodological changes as well as a changing reality.

  • Census Coverage Studies in Canada: a History with Emphasis on the 2011 Census
    Section on Survey Research Methods – JSM 2010 Census Coverage Studies in Canada: A History with Emphasis on the 2011 Census David Dolson Statistics Canada, 100 Tunney’s Pasture Driveway, Ottawa, ON, Canada, K1A 0T6 Abstract For Canada’s 2011 Census of Population, Statistics Canada will again use the Reverse Record Check methodology for estimating undercoverage. Estimates are based upon classification of a sample of persons who “should” be enumerated as being in-scope enumerated, in-scope missed or out-of-scope. Overcoverage will be estimated using the Census Overcoverage Study, first implemented in 2006. This methodology is based upon matching the census database to itself using administrative records to aid in confirming the validity of matching pairs of enumerations. This paper will trace the history of census coverage studies in Canada, primarily focusing on the period since 1961 when the Reverse Record Check was first implemented. Emphasis will be placed on plans for 2011, outlining the methodology of each study and highlighting important changes from the 2006 coverage studies. Keywords: Reverse Record Check, Record Linkage 1. Introduction The first census in Canada including a formal coverage measurement program was that in 1961; undercoverage was estimated using the Reverse Record Check (RRC) methodology. This paper will first give a description of coverage measurement fundamentals and concepts as applied in Canada. The next section will review the methodology of the 1961 RRC and trace major developments in the coverage studies program over the following 45 years. The last section will provide a detailed description of plans for 2011 including the Dwelling Classification Survey, the RRC and the Census Overcoverage Study.

  • In Recent Decades, Canada's Population Has Rapidly Become
    2010 PAA Conference, Texas The increasing ethnocultural diversity among the Canadian-born population: results from DemoSim, a population projection model using micro-simulation AUTHORS : André Lebel, Éric Caron Malenfant and Laurent Martel (Statistics Canada) In recent decades, the ethnocultural diversity of the Canadian population has increased under the effect of sustained immigration levels from non-European countries. The proportion of persons belonging to visible minority groups 1, of non-Christian religions or of mother tongue neither English nor French has risen, especially in large urban centres such as Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Ethnocultural diversity first increased rapidly among the foreign- born population of Canada and it is now increasing rapidly among the second generation of Canadians, that is persons born in Canada with at least one parent born outside the country, as well as in the third (or more) generation, that is people born in Canada with both parents born in Canada. Based upon projections using a unique micro-simulation model, this paper focuses on these changes, distinguishing different generations of Canadians and showing the complex ethno cultural mosaic of the Canadian population by 2031. The paper will be divided in two parts. The first part will give a general overview of Statistics Canada’s population projection micro-simulation model. The second part will consist of a detailed analysis of the ethnocultural diversity among the Canadian-born population. The rapid changes in the ethnocultural diversity of the Canadian population have various public policy implications. In 2004, Statistics Canada was originally commissioned by a federal department responsible for multiculturalism policies to project the evolution of visible minority groups, major linguistic groups, immigrants and religious denomination groups up to 2017.

  • Census Snapshot of Canada – Families
    Census Snapshot of Canada – Families Pre-Reading 1 Work in a group and discuss the following questions. 1. How do you define “family”? 2. Describe trends you think are happening in Canada or worldwide in the structure of families. 3. What factors do you think contribute to these trends? 4. Every five years, Statistics Canada collects information about Canada’s population (through the census) and makes the information public. What are the benefits and potential uses of this information? 2 Read the statements below about Canadian families. Decide whether or not you think they are true. Then read the following article and check your answers. 1. Most families include couples that are married. TF 2. The number of common-law couples is increasing. TF 3. About half of all families are headed by a single parent. TF 4. Single-parent (also called lone-parent) families headed by women are among the poorest in Canada. TF 5. The number of single parent families headed by men is increasing. TF 6. A large percentage of people in Canada live alone. TF 7. The number of young adults living at home is increasing. TF 8. In Canada, there are more couples with children than without children. TF 9. Same-sex marriage is legal in Canada. TF 10. The number of same-sex couples is decreasing. TF Reading CENSUS SNAPSHOT OF CANADA – FAMILIES Data from the 2006 Census indicate that the large majority (84%) of the population still live in census families composed of a married or common-law couple with or without children, or a lone parent living with at least one child in the same dwelling.

  • Population-Based Measures of Urban Inuit Health Determinants, Health Status, and Health Care Access
    Canadian Journal of Public Health (2018) 109:662–670 https://doi.org/10.17269/s41997-018-0111-0 QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH Our health counts: population-based measures of urban Inuit health determinants, health status, and health care access Janet Smylie1,2,3 & Michelle Firestone1,3 & Michael W. Spiller4 & Tungasuvvingat Inuit5 Received: 22 January 2018 /Accepted: 3 July 2018 /Published online: 9 October 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Objective Health determinants and outcomes are not well described for the growing population of Inuit living in southern urban areas of Canada despite known and striking health disparities for Inuit living in the north. The objective of this study was to work in partnership with Tungasuvvingat Inuit (TI) to develop population prevalence estimates for key indicators of health, including health determinants, health status outcomes, and health services access for Inuit in Ottawa, Canada. Methods We employed community-based respondent driven sampling (RDS) and a comprehensive health assessment survey to collect primary data regarding health determinants, status, and service access. We then linked with datasets held by the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES), including hospitalization, emergency room, and health screening records. Adjusted population-based prevalence estimates and rates were calculated using custom RDS software. Results We recruited 341 Inuit adults living in Ottawa. The number of Inuit living, working or accessing health and social services in the City of Ottawa was estimated to be 3361 (95% CI 2309–4959). This population experiences high rates of poverty, unemployment, household crowding, and food insecurity. Prevalence of hypertension (25%; 95% CI 18.1–33.9), chronic ob- structive pulmonary disease (6.7%; 95% CI 3.1–10.6), cancer (6.8%; 95% CI 2.7–11.9), and rates of emergency room access were elevated for Inuit in Ottawa compared to the general population.

Design A comparison of the rates of health care use among jurisdictions, using Canadian-population survey data and health administrative data. Setting Provincial jurisdictions across Canada. Main outcome measures Canadian and provincial rates of ill health (presence of chronic conditions) and health care use (contacts with family physicians, contacts with other specialist physicians, contacts with nurses, and hospitalizations) as monthly rates per 1000 population standardized by age and sex.
