About Canadians
The 2021 Census has just been released; it is your best choice for learning about the demographics of Canada.
Geosearch is the Statistics Canada tool for locating an area on a map and learning about the demographics for that area. This can be useful in helping you select the most appropriate level of geography for your analysis.
More about Canadians and Canada
The 'Data' tab of the Statistics Canada website is a good place to find socioeconomic statistics about Canadians. If you would like demographic statistics about Canadians, you will probably be better off using the 2021 Census
From the Data tab, you can use the keyword search or the filters down the left-hand side to find tables relevant to your specific interests. Many of the tables are customizable by either adjusting the menus at the top of the page or clicking on the 'Add/Remove Data' button. (Different tables allow for customization in different ways.)
It can also be worth checking out the Data visualizations tab, in addition to the basic tables. Some of them are quite cool and allow for a lot of manipulation to highlight different elements. If you're interested in household income, for example, you could try the Income Explorer visualization from the 2021 census.
The Daily is Statistics Canada's release bulletin. It allows keyword searching so you can search recent (and not so recent) data announcements. Your results will include articles, statistical tables and reports.
