Note(s) :
  1. Census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations crossing provincial boundaries
    There is one census metropolitan area (Ottawa - Gatineau) and three census agglomerations (Campbellton, Hawkesbury and Lloydminster) that cross provincial boundaries. The data for their respective provincial parts are included with the appropriate census metropolitan area or census agglomeration, with data for the census metropolitan area or census agglomeration within the province of the provincial part that contributes the majority of the population to the area. For example, Ottawa - Gatineau can be found in Ontario, Campbellton in New Brunswick, Hawkesbury in Ontario and Lloydminster in Alberta.
  1. TOTAL - SINGLE AND MULTIPLE ETHNIC ORIGIN RESPONSES
    The category 'Total - Single and multiple ethnic origin responses' indicates the number of respondents who reported each ethnic origin, either as their only response or in addition to one or more other ethnic origins. Total responses represent the sum of single responses and multiple responses received in the census.
  2. SINGLE ETHNIC ORIGIN RESPONSES
    A single ethnic origin response occurs when a respondent provides one ethnic origin only.
  3. MULTIPLE ETHNIC ORIGIN RESPONSES
    A multiple ethnic origin response occurs when a respondent provides two or more ethnic origins.
  4. TOTAL - ETHNIC ORIGIN
    This is a total population count. The sum of the ethnic groups in this table is greater than the total population count because a person may report more than one ethnic origin in the census.
