Canada’s 2026 Census: Why participation matters for Armenian-Canadians

Canada’s 2026 national census began on May 4, and Canadians have until May 12 to complete their census questionnaire online.

Accurate participation helps ensure that Armenian Canadians are properly represented in demographic data used by governments, institutions, and community organizations for planning and services.

Short-Form Census

All households will receive the short-form census, which includes questions about languages spoken.

This is where you can indicate Armenian as one of your languages.

Long-Form Census

1 in 4 households will receive the long-form census, which also includes:

• Question 23: Ethnicity
• Question 30: Religion

Here you may identify as Armenian.

Take Part

Completing the census is a simple but important way to help ensure that Canada’s Armenian community is accurately counted and represented.

Please complete your census before the May 12 deadline and encourage family and friends to do the same.
