Note

Special Note: Impact of Municipal Restructuring

The boundaries and names of municipalities (census subdivisions) can change from one census to the next because of annexations, dissolutions and incorporations. However, since the 1996 Census, the changes are more numerous and more dramatic, especially in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. In general, data from the 2001 Census are available for fewer and larger census subdivisions, and historical analyses are more complex. To bridge the impact of these municipal changes on data dissemination, the 2001 Census is producing a profile for dissolved census subdivisions. For additional information concerning the 2001 Census products, please refer to the 2001 Census Catalogue, Catalogue No. 92-377-XIE. For additional information about the census subdivisions, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue No. 92-378-XIE.

Special Note: Nunavut

A new territory called Nunavut came into effect on April 1, 1999. For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue No. 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XIP.

Special Note: Dissemination Area

The dissemination area (DA) is a new standard geographic area. It replaces the enumeration area (EA) as a basic unit for dissemination. For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue No. 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XIP.

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 in Canada claiming refugee status and members of their families living with them;
· persons in Canada who hold student authorizations (student visas or student permits) and members of their families living with them;
· persons in Canada who hold employment authorizations (or work permits) and members of their families living with them;
· persons 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 No. 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XIP.
