OTTAWA, April 20, 2022 /CNW/ - On April 27, 2022, Statistics Canada will release the second set of results from the 2021 Census.

Additional questions on sex-at-birth and gender were added to the 2021 Census to allow more Canadians to be better represented. Data about age and the various types of dwellings in Canada will also be released.

The release will be published in Statistics Canada's The Daily at 8:30 a.m. eastern time on April 27, 2022. Information about subsequent releases throughout 2022 is available at 2021 Census dissemination planning — Release plans.
