Completing the 2011 Canada Census A CURRICULUM UNIT FOR ELSA STUDENTS Vancouver Community College April 2011 lrehnby@vcc.ca
About this kit The next Census of Canada is currently underway. The census date is May 10, 2011, and every household in Canada is required to complete it within 10 days. Statistics Canada provides great materials for teachers. You can download the materials free of charge from http://census2011.gc.ca/ccr02/ccr02_000-eng.htm. They are also provided as an attachment to this kit. This kit focuses on ESL students; specifically, preparing students to complete the census for their own families. The kit is available in print for photocopying. A PDF version is also available by email. All of the Census materials can be downloaded from http://census2011.gc.ca/ Lorraine Rehnby, Vancouver Community College lrehnby@vcc.ca

FOR THE TEACHER How to help your students complete the Census First, make sure that the student is the person in the household who should complete the census. One access code was sent to each household (some received just the access code; others received the access code and the paper questionnaire), and only one person in each household should complete the census. If a student is certain that no-one in the household received the access code, and they do not have a census form, they should call 1.877.777.2011 (help in 44 languages). Next, having carefully reviewed both the paper and on-line census, it is strongly recommended that ESL students complete the on-line survey during class time. Put simply, the on-line survey is much easier to use: for example, the on-line tool recalls the names of the people in the household and asks question about them by name, which is much easier to follow. The on-line form is also much faster to complete. Finally, the census is recommended for classroom time because it provides an excellent ESL teaching opportunity. This kit provides the materials needed to understand how to complete the form, and builds on the opportunity with additional lessons. How to use this kit while assisting students to complete the census The questions in this kit are the same as the print form and on-line questionnaire, in the same order — but they look different. This kit was developed using preliminary materials sent out by Statistics Canada earlier this year. The materials, and translations in 33 languages, are available at http://census2011.gc.ca/ Printed form On-line form recommended for ESL students 4
How long does it take to complete the census? There are about 15 questions in the main census. An instructor should be able to have all students complete the census within a 50-minute period. What if my student is selected to do the additional “Household Survey”? The additional “Household Survey” is long and complicated. It is unlikely that a teacher will be able to assist students to complete it within a 50-minute period. Students can get started, and choose to finish it later (the on-line version allows users to exit and then pick up where they left off later on). Students who are selected to complete the “Household Survey” should call 1.877.777.2011 for assistance in their first language. Help is available in 44 languages, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Teachers may want to take a moment to stress that Statistics Canada does not share information with other government agencies. Students may be apprehensive to answer questions about family members, their past addresses, their income, their childcare costs, etc. You may want to print out basic information about the purpose of the census, in students’ home language, from http://census2011.gc.ca/ccr05/ccr05_000-eng.htm Parting thoughts: First, do the census yourself. Teachers may find it helpful to complete the on-line and/or paper census for their own households before teaching students how to do it during class time. Especially with the paper questionnaire, it is easy to get confused (was my son person 4, or was that my daughter)? The census serves many purposes in Canada, and is an excellent teaching opportunity. Enjoy! 5
FOR THE TEACHER, FROM STATISTICS CANADA About the Census Every five years Statistics Canada conducts a census. The next Census of Canada will take place on May 10, 2011. Why is the census important? When you complete your census questionnaire you are providing important information that will be used in making decisions—for your neighbourhood, your community, your province, and the country as a whole. Communities depend on census information when planning for new schools, roads, waterworks, public transit, and police and fire services. Town planners use census information on households and families to plan current and future housing needs, health care, and day-care centres. Population estimates obtained from the census are used to allocate transfer payments from the federal government to the provinces and territories and from the provinces to municipalities. As a decennial census, data from the 2011 Census will be used to determine the number of Members of Parliament. Who is included in the census? The census includes every person living in Canada, as well as Canadians who are abroad, either on a military base, attached to a diplomatic mission, or at sea or in port aboard Canadian- registered merchant vessels. Persons in Canada including those holding a temporary resident permit, study permit or work permit, and their dependents, are also part of the census. The 2011 Census online Starting in May 2011, households can choose the convenience of completing their census questionnaire online. It is an easy, secure and convenient option that can be used anywhere, anytime. No pre-registration or lengthy download processes are required. 6

Step D: Farm operators From Statistics Canada: STEP D – This step tells us if someone in your household operates a farm. It also ensures that we count all farms for the Census of Agriculture. For all students STEP D 1. Is anyone listed in Step B a farm operator who produces at least one agricultural product intended for sale? (Crops, livestock, milk, poultry, eggs, greenhouse or nursery products, Christmas trees, sod, honey, bees, maple syrup products, furs, etc.) x No � Go to Step E � Yes 2.

This information is used for planning social programs, such as Old Age Security and the Child Tax Benefit. It is also used by communities to plan services such as daycare centres, schools and senior citizens’ residences. • Questions 7, 8 and 9 provide information to determine the need for language services in English and French according to the Official Languages Act, and are used to implement programs that protect the Exercise 5 – Identifying family relationships rights of Canadians under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This exercise uses a family tree that will help you to see how different people in a household are all • Question 10 ensures that each person is given the opportunity to make an informed decision about what represented in the census.
