Canada's next national census set for May 2026

OTTAWA – The next Canadian census will be held in May 2026. The federal cabinet has issued an order fixing the date for the census and the questions it will ask. The last census was held in 2021 and was the first to be held during a pandemic. It collected data on the population, including age, gender, marital status, family structure and types of dwelling. It also gathered statistics on military experience, income, immigration, ethnocultural and religious background, and education, among other factors. Statistics Canada says the results are used to plan government services involving employment, schools, public transportation and hospital services.

Canada deploys ‘crisis emergency response' as Iran-Israel strikes continue

The Canadian government is deploying a 'crisis emergency response' in the Middle East as the conflict between Israel and Iran worsens days after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The response will include 24-7 assistance and consular access for Canadians in the region, Global Affairs Canada said in a statement late Sunday night. This comes as the United States has also issued a 'worldwide caution' alert for its citizens abroad. Canada is also providing departure options for Canadians wishing to leave Israel or the West Bank as the crisis intensifies and will also support those who wish to leave Iran. Sunday's planned departures from Israel had to be postponed to Monday, Global Affairs Canada said. It added that the Canadian government was in 'regular communication with Canadians who have requested assistance in Iran, Israel and the West Bank.' Story continues below advertisement 'We continue to work in close collaboration with our international partners and exploring all available avenues to assist Canadians,' Global Affairs Canada said in its statement. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) also issued a temporary halt on removals to Israel. 'This measure is being taken given the volatile and unpredictable situation in Israel due to ongoing hostilities with Iran,' the agency said in a statement Monday. The order does not apply to individuals who are inadmissible to Canada on grounds of criminality, serious criminality, international or human rights violations, organized crime or security. The United States on Sunday attacked three Iranian nuclear sites, sparking fears of a wider regional conflict. Global Affairs Canada said in light of the U.S. strikes, Canada was 'reviewing our mission security posture across the region in close collaboration with our international partners.' Global Affairs Canada headquarters in Ottawa has increased surge capacity at its 24/7 Emergency Watch and Response Centre to meet the requests from Canadians in the Middle East for emergency consular support. Twenty members of GAC's Standing Rapid Deployment Team have been deployed in Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Turkiye, Azerbaijan, Greece, Cyprus and Armenia. They will join hundreds of Canadian government personnel to offer ground assistance to Canadians in the region.

As a result, our ability to provide consular services in Iran remains extremely limited,' the department says.

B.C. professor trapped in Iran says Canada has offered ‘almost nothing' to help

A British Columbia professor who is trapped in Iran says he's been told by officials there's 'almost nothing' the Canadian government can do to help him and his family. Simon Fraser University engineering professor Simon Jannesar says in an email that communications are extremely limited and Canadian authorities don't seem to have a plan to deal with the situation. Jannesar's wife and two infant children had travelled to Iran before Israel launched strikes against the country, and he told his students that when the conflict began he had no choice but to join them. The United States joined the conflict over the weekend by bombing Iran's nuclear sites and with airspace now closed there's no way for the family to get out. He says in an email written to The Canadian Press at 3:45 a.m. local time on Sunday during a brief window of internet access that communications are extremely limited and calls cannot be received from outside the country. Jannesar says he managed to call a Canadian government emergency line but after hours of conversation was initially told to fill in an online form, despite the lack of internet connection. 'Finally one of the agents kindly did it on phone for me. But after so many back and forth talks they told me that there is almost nothing they can do,' Jannesar said. 'Their answer to my question of 'what service (do) you exactly provide in this emergency line?' was something in lines of: 'we are answering your questions! And calls! And if you were not a Canadian we were not answering your questions!' One of Jannesar's students shared a message from him last week describing the professor's situation in an online forum, before the U.S. attack. In that message to his class Jannesar said he was still trying to provide recorded lectures despite the war conditions. 'As you can most likely hear in my lecture nine recording, it is literally like a war zone with explosions coming around every now and then,' he wrote, asking his students for help getting out word about his situation. A spokesman for Simon Fraser University confirmed that one of its lecturers was stuck in Iran but said it could not provide a recording of the lecture described by Jannesar because access was limited to students. Jannesar says in his email that the Canadian officials he spoke with 'were nice and respectful' and he did not want to be 'harsh' about them. 'But there are actually no managerial plans behind it and (it's) not clear what they offer. It's not even clear in the wording of their emails that what they do they do or can do,' he said. Jannesar says the internet had been shut down for days before a brief period of access. The university said a second staff member who was in Iran had managed to cross into Turkey. 'We are closely monitoring the situation, and the safety and well-being of our SFU community members remain our top priority,' a spokesman said. He added that 'options for departure from the region are extremely limited' and that the trapped faculty member had been encouraged to contact the university's international health and security provider and Canada's Emergency Watch and Response Centre for consular assistance. While Iranian airspace is closed, land crossings into Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan are possible options for Canadians attempting to leave Iran, according to Global Affairs Canada. Canadians in Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and Iran are 'advised to remain close to a bomb shelter or a hardened structure away from windows,' a Global Affairs Canada web page reads.
