கனடா குடிமதிப்பு புள்ளிவிபர தினைக்களம் 2011 ஆண்டுக்குரிய மக்கள் தொகை பற்றிய கேள்விக்கொத்து.

கனடா குடிமதிப்பு புள்ளிவிபர திணைக்களம் 2011 ஆண்டுக்குரிய மக்கள் தொகை கணக்கெடுப்பை நடத்துகிறது. 2011 ஆம் ஆண்டுக்கான மக்கள் தொகை கணிப்பு வினாக்கள் மற்றும் இவ்வினாக்கள் கேட்கப்படுவதற்கான காரணங்கள் கேட்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. அதற்காக 10 வினாக்கள் கொண்ட ஒரு படிவத்தைக் குடிமக்களிடம் கொடுத்து அதனை நிரப்பித் தருமாறு கேட்டுள்ளது.

இந்தப் 10 வினாக்களில் வினாக்கள் 8 மற்றும் 9 நாம் பேசும் மொழி தொடர்பானது.

இந்த வினாக்கள் தமிழிலும் ஆங்கிலத்திலும் கீழே கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. அதற்கான விடைகளும் கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. வினா 8 (அ) (ஆ) இரண்டுக்கும் ஆன விடை தமிழ் என்பதாகும். அதே போல் வினா 9 க்கு ஆன விடை தமிழ் என்பதாகும்.

தற்போது கனடாவில் வாழும் தமிழ்மக்களது எண்ணிக்கை சரியாகக் கணிக்கப்படவில்லை.

இந்த இரண்டு வினாக்களுக்கும் தமிழ் என்று விடை அளிக்கும் போது கனடிய தமிழ்மக்களின் எண்ணிக்கையைப் பேரளவு சரியாகக் கணிக்க முடியும்.

தமிழ்மக்களது எண்ணிக்கையின் அடிப்படையிலேயே அரசு ஏதிலிகள் குடியமர்வு அமைப்புகளுக்கு நிதியுதவி செய்கிறது. அதன் அடிப்படையிலேயே அரசியல் கட்சிகள் கனடிய vதமிழ்மக்களின் வாக்குப் பலத்தை அறிந்து கொள்கின்றன.

எனவே இந்தப் படிவத்தைக் கவனமாக நிரப்புமாறு கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறோம். இந்த வினாப் படிவம் தமிழ்மொழியிலும் கிடைக்கும். ஆனால் தமிழில் நிரப்ப முடியாது. ஆங்கிலப் படிவத்தில் ஆங்கிலமொழியில்தான் நிரப்ப வேண்டும். மேலதிக விபரத்தை http://census2011.gc.ca/ccr05/ccr05c/ccr05c_000-eng.htm என்ற இணையதளத்தில் பார்க்கலாம்.

கனடா குடிமதிப்பு புள்ளிவிபர திணைக்களத்தோடு தொடர்பு கொள்ள விரும்பினால் தமிழில் 1 877 777 2011 என்ற எண்ணோடு தொடர்பு கொள்ளவும்.

Also included are reasons why questions are asked and how the information you provide is used.

What is a census?

A census provides a statistical picture of a country and its people. In Canada, it is mandatory for people to participate in the census. The Census of population is mandated by the Statistics Act and the Constitution Act, 1982.

The Census of Canada is conducted every five years. The reference date for the census is Tuesday, May 10, 2011.

Why is the census important?

The results of the census are used to make many important decisions affecting your neighbourhood, your province or territory, and the entire country. Governments, businesses, associations, and community organizations are among the many thousands of census data users. For example, census results are used in:

* calculating transfer payments from the federal government to your province or territory

*planning for police services and fire protection

* determining where schools and day-care centres are needed. If you need help Visit the census website at www.census2011.gc.ca or call the Census Help

Line number at 1�877�777�2011 (TTY: 1�866�753�7083) starting May 2, 2011 if: * you have a question about filling in your census form or you want some information about the census

* you are having trouble filling in your census form

* you need a new census form because the original is lost or damaged

* you need a questionnaire in the other official language

* you need an extra questionnaire because there are more people in your household than there is space for on the questionnaire

* you are a boarder or share a home with roommates and wish to request your own questionnaire

* your household did not receive a questionnaire by Tuesday, May 10th

* you need a Secure Access Code to answer your questionnaire online

* you want to speak to someone in a language other than English or French or you want a copy of the questions in a language other than English or French.

Operators will be able to provide assistance in various languages in addition to English and French. To assist respondents whose first language is neither English nor French, the census questions have been translated into 31 other languages, including 11 Aboriginal languages. Respondents may contact the Census Help Line to obtain a copy of the census questions in any of these 31 languages or to obtain the census questions in large print, Braille or in audio format.

For access to TDD/TTY (Telecommunication Devices for the Deaf/Teletype Machines only), call 1�866�753�7083 (free of charge).

What happens to your census questionnaire?

Census questionnaires will be retained in accordance with legislative requirements and stored securely at Statistics Canada. It takes about six months for your questionnaire to be processed. You can request to see the personal information on your census questionnaire by writing to:

The law protects what you tell us By law, Statistics Canada must take a census every five years, and every household must fill in a census form. By the same law, Statistics Canada must protect the confidentiality of the personal information you provide on your census form. All Statistics Canada employees are personally liable to fines or imprisonment should they contravene the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act. Census results are released only in a form that does not identify individuals (e.g. aggregate data tables, graphs, analyses,

etc.). No information that could identify you, or a member of your household, is ever released. The one exception is if you agree to Question 10 to allow your personal census information to be provided to Library and Archives Canada after 92 years (please see page 9 for further information).

Does Statistics Canada use census information to conduct other surveys?

From time to time, Statistics Canada may use the census results to select households or individuals to participate in other important surveys. This is done only after it can be demonstrated that the census is the most cost-efficient and effective means to select the required sample. These uses are strictly for statistical purposes and no one outside of Statistics Canada can have access to any identifiable information.

To complete your census questionnaire online

Visit the census website at www.census2011.gc.ca.

You will receive a message if you need to update or modify your settings.

Your role in the census The information you provide will help ensure that the 2011 Census accurately reflects Canada�s changing society.

Are census data available free of charge?

Statistics Canada makes every effort to put key census indicators and information in the public domain. A wide selection of information from the census, such as community profiles, are available on the Statistics Canada

website, at www.statcan.gc.ca. In addition, many standard census products are made available, free of charge, in depository libraries across the country.

Starting off � step by step

Step A

We need your telephone number to contact you should you forget to provide information on your questionnaire.

We need your address to ensure that all dwellings are counted. Complete your address only if no printed address is provided on the cover page of the questionnaire or if the address where you lived on May 10, 2011 was different than the one printed on the front cover page.

In the case where the printed address is not the exact one (there is a typing error in the name of the street or an error in the street type), you do not have to correct your address in the response field or in the printed address field.

Your telephone number and your address may also be used in conducting post-censal surveys.

Steps B and C

These steps help you to decide who should be included and who should not be included on your questionnaire. They help us to ensure that we have counted everyone we need to count and that no one is counted twice. Please refer to instructions 1 and 2 provided on the third page of your questionnaire.

Step D

This step tells us if someone in your household operates a farm. It also ensures that we count all farms for the Census of Agriculture.

Step E

Print using capital letters, please copy the names that you already listed in Step B to answer Question 1 at the top of page 4 in the boxes provided.

Please place names in the same order. It is important that data provided for the members of your household correspond to the names of all the persons you have identified. The questionnaire is designed for a household of six persons or less (yourself included). If there are more than six persons in your household, you will need a second questionnaire which can be obtained by calling 1 877 777 2011.

Questions 2 to 6 are asked to learn about the living arrangements of people living in Canada. This information is used for planning social programs, such as Old Age Security and the Canada Child Tax Benefit.

It is important to indicate the marital status of every person in the household�even babies and young children. Children under age 15 should be marked as �never legally married.�

Question 5 � Common-law status
