Note

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 Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.


Special Note: Dissemination of Suppressed Census Subdivisions (CSDs) - 20% Sample Data


To facilitate the publication of data for 12 Dissemination Areas for which the 'parent' CSDs have been suppressed because of a high non-response rate, the parent CSDs were given a value/qualifier of '0'. Note that the value/qualifier of '0' for these CSDs does not represent data for them. This '0' appears as a dash '-' in Beyond 20/20 and as an 'N' on the Internet.


The list of suppressed CSDs set at '0' are:



The CSD of Walpole Island 46 (3538004)
The CSD of Wikwemikong Unceded 26 (3551043)
The CSD of Moosonee (3556106)
The CSD of Jean Baptiste Gambler 183 (4817817)
The CSD of Sliammon 1 (5927802)


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



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 Number 92-377-XIE. For additional information about the census subdivisions, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.


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.

Footnotes

Footnote 1

The 1996 category 'Chinese, n.o.s.' contains all responses of 'Chinese', including 'Mandarin', 'Cantonese' and 'Hakka'. Therefore it is not equivalent to the 2001 category 'Chinese, n.o.s.' but rather, equal to the sum of the 2001 categories of 'Chinese, n.o.s.', 'Mandarin', 'Cantonese' and 'Hakka'.
