Note

Note: Classification of collective dwellings

The classification of collective dwellings during census enumeration has evolved over time and has become quite complex. Comparisons with previous censuses are not valid as classification procedures and definitions have changed. Furthermore, Statistics Canada 2006 Census classifications are not expected to agree with classifications used in administrative data or other sources, since the facilities are classified by their function, rather than by their name or official status. Furthermore, census data are not collected for foreign and/or temporary residents while these residents may be included in administrative data sources.

Note: Population universe

The population universe of the 2006 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 Study Permits and members of their families living with them;
- persons with a usual place of residence in Canada who hold Work Permits and members of their families living with them.

For census purposes, the last three 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 2006 Census Dictionary, catalogue number 92-566-XWE or 92-566-XPE.
