  • 1. Census Test: Content Analysis Report Index and guides: 92-140-X
    Index and guides: 92-140-X
    Description:

    Before each Census of Population, Statistics Canada carries out a three- to four-year process to review the content of the census questionnaires in consultation with census data users, performing tests and developing questionnaire content to ensure that it takes into account the evolution of Canadian society. Factors considered in developing the content include legislative requirements regarding information, program and policy requirements; the burden placed on respondents to respond to questions; concerns about privacy; feedback from consultations and tests; data quality; costs and operational considerations; the comparability of data with earlier data and the availability of alternative data sources. Before each census, Statistics Canada tests the questionnaire content through an extensive test. The content report presents the analyses conducted from the data collected from this test and the results that are used to fine tune the questionnaires, the methodology and the systems used for the Census Program.

Help for sorting results

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides three options:

  • date – sorts results by release date starting with the most recent.
  • relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • title – sorts results alphabetically.

Help for filters and search

How do I use the filters and the search box?
  • You can initiate a search by entering keywords or selecting filters (e.g., under Subject, etc.).
  • Filters can be used together or in any combination. Only 1 filter can be selected at a time, per section. Each time you select a filter, the page reloads.
  • Specified keywords and filters appear as “tags” above the search box after each filter selection or keyword entry. You can deselect any or all the “tags” to refine or clear your search.
  • To start a new search, click on the Clear all button above the search box or deselect each filter.
How do I refine my search?
  • You can enter keywords in the search box.  It is not necessary to use “+” or “,” or “AND”.
  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.  
  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase. 
    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.
  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.
    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words. 
How does the search work?
  • Search results are linked to terms ‘tagged’ to subjects, keywords, etc., or included in metadata fields such as title, description.
    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear. 
  • The text within an article or publication are not searched.
