Applicants must live in Canada, be adults, and either hold citizenship, permanent residency, or a valid work permit.
How To Apply
During the hiring process, Statistics Canada will screen candidates, check references, interview for supervisory roles, and complete security clearance.
Applications go online via the Census jobs portal from November 4, 2025 to July 31, 2026.
Because timelines vary by region, applicants improve their chances by submitting early and selecting preferred roles.
Finally, working on the census allows Canadians to explore communities, meet new people, and contribute meaningfully.
Overall, this flexible, temporary work gives employees a chance to experience Canada from the ground up.
