Looks like the Population Census is held every 10 years, in the "1" years. Last one was in 2001.\n\nHere is the history of the census from Statistics Canada:\nhttp://www12.statcan.ca/english/census01/Info/history.cfm

Canada is a pretty big place.  Might be helpful if you can give people a city or at least a province....

Canada is larger and more more populous, with 33 million people in 4 million square miles.  Australia has only 21 million people in 3 million square miles.

I think that some countries, such as Canada, no longer ask about race on government documents.  Since we're all members of the human race, I suppose it doesn't matter.

What country?  In the U.S., the census is every 10 years, and I think we will not have one until 2010.  I am over 40 and I haven't filled out a census form yet.

Certantly not, Canada is an open and free society. There is large muslim population who is doing well. This is not to say that you won't find people who are prejudice but you must ignore these people and show them you are better than them. This kind of people most definetly represent a small minority.

Every 10 years, for the US at least, the government sends out a questionaire to every house in America.  It asks you to fill out things such as number of residents, income, etc.  This gives the government most of the important information about the country.\n\nHowever, this clearly mis-represents two types of people: the ones that don't answer, and the ones that don't have a home address to send a census form to.  As such, the US Census bureau also makes use of statistical modeling of urban areas.  In the poorer areas of a city, the Census Bureau actually sends people around to count up how many people there are.  Sure, they may get some people twice, but they're probably missing just as many, if not more people.  They then use statistical modeling to project what the population of that city is.  Census takers also go door to door to make sure people have filled out their census forms.  The Census Burueau tries to get as much accurate information as possible, as such, its forbidden by law to share some of the information that it recieves that might get people arrested.  This way, they can count things like illegal immigrants and people who don't pay taxes.

Canada has a federal system with proportional representation.  In Ontario, as is the case with most of Canada, you have a 'coalition' government with representatitves elected in proportion to the votes their party received.\n\nhttp://olaap.ontla.on.ca/mpp/daIndex.do?locale=en
