Members SpiritualJunkie Posted May 16, 2006 Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 I thought the longer version only went to households with more than 6 occupants. As far as I know, it's not against the law to not complete the census but the information gathered is important as it can affect programs such as childcare, pension plans, language education, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted May 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 Yeah I dunno there are only 4 people in my house so I am not sure why we got it.... but they ask you practically everything but your underwear size..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritualJunkie Posted May 17, 2006 Members Share Posted May 17, 2006 Have you moved recently? If so, that long questionnaire could be meant for the previous household. If not...you should probably give the Help Line a call and ask what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted May 17, 2006 Members Share Posted May 17, 2006 Nope it must be completed, its the law. You can be fined if you do not complete your census I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted May 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 Yeah I saw that on the news. We did it....... don't know if all our figures were accurate we just guesstimated alot of them but at least Mr. Harper has it now so he can't send me to prison.
