Note

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

A few census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs) have different geographical boundaries in 2001 as compared to 1996. In order to facilitate data comparisons, the 1996 CMA and CA data have been adjusted to reflect as closely as possible the 2001 CMA and CA boundaries. In the following cases, there was not an exact match. Therefore care should be taken when looking at the 1996 Census data for these CAs:

Cobourg, Ontario
Courtenay, British Columbia
Lachute, Quebec
Guelph, Ontario
Val d'Or, Quebec
Williams Lake, British Columbia
Woodstock, Ontario

For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue No. 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.

· 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;
