Census data provides numerical information about a country's population, dwellings, families, immigration and ethnocultural diversity, Indigenous  peoples, education, labour, mobility and migration, languages spoken, income, housing and much more.

CANADA
Canada's Census of Population (and concurrent Census of Agriculture) is collected every five years, most recently in 2021 (note that the most recent completely-published census is still 2016). Census data are searchable by geography or by topic, and are available from several sources and in many formats.
