Wow, I think it would be great, except there are many people out there who don't think so and can be ignorant. I wonder how much for piece work? I should check in my area to see if there are any vacancies, a little extra cash around tax time would be good  , they could just keep it

Hi Hunter
I had emailed all my friends and family and told them more about the advantage of having ticked the box yes and hoped that they would do so and, LOL, I reminded them that most of them would be dead by then anyways.
Only had one friend who thought he wouldn't even bother filling out the census, I gave him what for, and now the Census police are after him.

this is going to sound a little silly, but is there really such a thing as the census police?

Yeah, That jail time wouldn't look to good for the descendants to find  Haha...
Were there really people paid for census taking?
I filled in the application...but didn't hear back...so was wondering...
We were given two options of mail ins or online forms to fill in...
Does the method differ by Province? J.J.

Yes, people do get paid to go door to door and get people to fill out their census! My friend has been doing it all summer.
She gets a list of names in a certain neighbourhood and has to just keep visiting or calling them until they fill it out. She will even sit down with them and fill it out for them if need be. Statsitics Canada hires an army of these enumerators across the country every census - it's a very big undertaking.
She was kind of making jokes about it until I told her about my family history research and how its so fascinating to see someone's name written down on an census form more than 100 years old, and how frustrated we sometimes get with lazy enumerators.  She was surprised that people actually USE census information. Sheesh 
But I hope I got her to think a little differently about her job, temporary and part-time though it is.

Darn, would have loved to have had that extra income...oh, well....Maybe they only needed people in an ?"official capacity" by the time I signed up.....That's not what I wanted so I only put in for door to door...

there is a big yellow notice from the census office taped to the door of an apartment on my floor. Its in english and said the occupant did not fill out a census form this year. It briefly mentions a large fine if the occupant does not return the filled in form by a certain date. I didnt read it too closely.
I must admit I dont see this particular elderly lady very often but she speaks french, she is from Lebanon, and her english is very poor. I dont think she would be able to read the english. I wonder if she is on vacation. She does have children living else where in ontario.

I never heard anything about there being a fine for people who don't fill it out. I thought it was all optional if you filled one out or not. The government has your income tax information so they know where you are, what you do and how much you get, if you have children and if you are still claiming them for baby bonus, GST and tax break purposes.
The ones we got were all sent out by mail as far as I know. There were 2 different forms sent out a long one and a short one. 4 of my aunts got the short ones while my mom, sister and myself got the long version ones.
I wouldn't mind doing enumerations and door to door for the census forms but I don't think my little one would sit in his stroller long enough for that and people can get down right mean when it comes to things like this, or anything door to door really.
