Do census workers call you?

The Census Bureau conducts over 100 surveys other than the 2020 Census. If your address was selected to participate in one of these surveys, we may call you to participate. Some surveys are done exclusively by phone. We might also call you if we do not find you at home or when a personal visit is not convenient.

Can the census be used against you?

No. We’ll never sell or share your personal information with anyone. No one can be identified from the census and your information can never be used to target you. It would be against the law and contrary to our most important principle: to protect the confidentiality of all information.

Can you go to jail for not doing census Canada?
