StatCan hiring for Census 2021

Jan 21, 2021 | 2:07 PM

Statistics Canada is looking for 32,000 Canadians to fill jobs across the country for the 2021 Census.

Individuals are being hired to be part of this large-scale national project in communities both big and small to collect crucial data that will be used to plan for the future, reads a release.

Supervisory and non-supervisory opportunities are available between March and July 2021.

StatCan says it has adapted its approach for the 2021 Census to the COVID-19 reality to ensure that every Canadian has an opportunity to be heard and that the census is conducted in the best and safest way possible.

Census procedures have been redesigned to ensure the safety of respondents and census employees by limiting the amount of contact required to participate in this important undertaking. This will enable the majority of Canadians to complete the questionnaire through an efficient, secure and user-friendly online application.

All equipment required to keep census employees safe during the pandemic will be provided by StatCan, and employees will work close to home, in their local communities. Census staff will identify dwellings on maps, follow up with respondents by phone and conduct physically-distanced in-person interviews, when required.
