Statistics Canada is Hiring Across Canada for the 2026 Census

Hello, 

I am pleased to inform you that the next Census of Population will take place in May 2026. To carry out this important work, Statistics Canada is hiring approximately 32,000 people across Canada to help residents complete their census questionnaires. 

The census provides valuable data for planning local services and creates meaningful employment. These jobs give residents the chance to support their community, while earning income and building skills.

Applications are now being accepted for supervisory and non-supervisory positions across the country. For more information, please visit census.gc.ca/jobs.

I am seeking your municipality’s support in raising awareness about these job opportunities. Your help will directly contribute to the success of the 2026 Census.

How you can help us spread the word:

  • Encourage your constituents to apply for census jobs at census.gc.ca/jobs.
  • Share resources in our Community Supporter Toolkit, including posters, web images, social media content, and articles.
  • Engage on social media and share posts using the hashtag #2026Census.

If you have any questions, please contact Census Communications.

Thank you in advance for supporting the 2026 Census.
