Statistics Canada to hire 32,000 for 2026 Census

Statistics Canada is hiring.

The agency is preparing for this year’s Census.

It will take place this May.

Statistics Canada is in the process of hiring approximately 32,000 workers to assist in collecting the data.

They include enumerators and supervisory staff who will work in communities across Canada.

The enumerators’ prime role is to go door-to-door to collect census information.

The agency has also increased the pay, giving an almost 45% hike since the 2021 Census.

Statistics Canada says the information collected every five years provides the most accurate portrait of the country.

Governments, organizations, businesses and individuals use the findings in their decision-making in areas such as childcare, education, healthcare, public transportation, housing, and community planning, as well as other programming.

Those applying for any of the available positions must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or possess a valid work permit.
