Note

Special Note: Historical Comparison of Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations, 1991, 1996 and 2001

A few census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs) have different geographical boundaries in 2001 as compared to 1991 and to 1996. In order to facilitate data comparisons, the 1991 and 1996 CMA and CA data have been adjusted to reflect as closely as possible the 2001 CMA and CA boundaries.

For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.

Cautionary Notes: Industry - 1980 Standard Industrial Classification

A processing error has been identified affecting the 2001 Industry data coded to 1980 Standard Industrial Classification. Records with Occupation (NOCS-2001) code G715 - Hotel front desk clerks were incorrectly assigned the Industry code 851 - Elementary and secondary education. The correct Industry code should have been 911 - Hotels, motels and tourist courts.

331 - Small Electrical Appliance Industry

331 - Small Electrical Appliance Industry and 338 - Communications and Energy Wire and Cable Industry both manufacture electrical products. Coders had some difficulty in differentiating between these products because of insufficient detail in the responses provided by respondents. Hence, a number of responses that should have been coded to 331 - Small Electrical Appliance Industry were miscoded to 338 - Communications and Energy Wire and Cable Industry. Users should be cautious when using these estimates.

338 - Communications and Energy Wire and Cable Industry

For this industry, census respondents tended to give general responses that would have been applicable for any number of activities in major group 33 - Electrical and Electronic Products Industries. Coders therefore had some difficulty in coding some responses to industry group 338 - Communications and Energy Wire and Cable Industry and there were a number of miscodes. Caution should be exercised when using these estimates.

401 - Residential Building and Development and 429 - Other Trade Work

Construction activities are difficult to code. Census respondents do not generally provide sufficient information to code these establishments in great detail. There were a number of miscodes to 401 - Residential Building and Development and to 429 - Other Trade Work. Users should exercise caution when using these data.

692 - Direct Sellers

Persons coded to 692 - Direct Sellers are engaged in the direct distribution of products, and are self employed or are paid on a commission basis. Hence, the coding of this industry can only be done properly with detailed responses and adequate supplemental information. For example, a newspaper delivery boy needs to also identify himself as being self-employed in order to be coded to this industry. Typically, responses for this industry tend to be vague or contradictory. Coders had significant difficulty in coding to this industry. Estimates for 692 - Direct Sellers should be used with caution.

859 - Other Educational Services

There was some confusion in the 2001 coding of 'vocational' activities. Vocational guidance centres should have been coded to 859 - Other Educational Services and vocational post-secondary education services should have been coded to 852 - Post-secondary non-university education. Respondents who worked in vocational education services but provided general responses, such as 'education', were miscoded to 859 - Other Educational Services. Respondents who reported their work activity as college or other vocational instructors were also miscoded to 859 - Other Educational Services. Users should exercise caution when using these estimates.

Special Note: Nunavut (1)

Data from the 2001 Census are available for Nunavut, the new territory that came into effect on April 1, 1999.

Standard data products released only at the Canada/Province/Territory geographic levels will not contain data for Nunavut for the census years prior to 2001.

Standard data products released at the Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) and Census Agglomeration (CA) geographic levels will contain data for Nunavut for the 2001, 1996 and/or 1991 Censuses.

The 1996 and 1991 CMA/CA data have been adjusted to reflect as closely as possible the 2001 CMA/CA geographic boundaries. This has been done to facilitate data comparisons using the 2001 geographic boundaries.

For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.

Special Note: Population Universe

The Population Universe of the 2001 Census includes the following groups:

- Canadian citizens (by birth or by naturalization) and landed immigrants with a usual place of residence in Canada;
- Canadian citizens (by birth or by naturalization) and landed immigrants who are abroad, either on a military base or attached to a diplomatic mission;
- Canadian citizens (by birth or by naturalization) and landed immigrants at sea or in port aboard merchant vessels under Canadian registry;
- persons with a usual place of residence in Canada who are claiming refugee status and members of their families living with them;
- persons with a usual place of residence in Canada who hold student authorizations (student visas or student permits) and members of their families living with them;
- persons with a usual place of residence in Canada who hold employment authorizations (or work permits) and members of their families living with them;
- persons with a usual place of residence in Canada who hold Minister's permits (including extensions) and members of their families living with them.

For census purposes, the last four groups in this list are referred to as 'non-permanent residents'. For further information, refer to the variable Immigration: Non-permanent Resident found in the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.

Industry (based on the 1980 Standard Industrial Classification [SIC])
Part A - Plain Language Definition
General nature of the business carried out in the establishment where the person worked. The 2001 Census data on industry (based on the 1980 SIC) can be compared with data from the 1986, 1991 and 1996 Censuses.
Part B - Detailed Definition
Refers to the general nature of the business carried out in the establishment where the person worked. If the person did not have a job during the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to enumeration (May 15, 2001), data relate to the job of longest duration since January 1, 2000. Persons with two or more jobs were to report the information for the job at which they worked the most hours.

The variable 'Industry (based on the 1980 Standard Industrial Classification)' permits direct comparisons between 1986, 1991, 1996 and 2001 Census industry data.
