Stats Can Looks for Census Enumerators
Prince George, B.C.- The call is out for those who would like to land a temporary job for the 2016 census.
35 thousand jobs will be open for the census and applications can be filed with an Online Recruitment Application.
Depending on the type of job, the duration of the employment will be early March to the end of July. The pay rate is $16.31 per hour to $19.91 per hours, plus authorized expenses.
While most of the jobs won’t start until later this spring, there will be early enumeration in remote areas of the far north and some communities in Northern Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec and Labrador.
There is also an open call for applications for 1,400 temporary jobs at the Census Date Operations Centres in Gatineau Quebec and in Ottawa.
The return to the full census is another of the Trudeau Government election promises. Statisticians had complained that the short form voluntary household questionnaire used under the previous government did not provide enough returns to be statistically accurate.

36,400 jobs for five months at between $16.00 to $19.00 per hour amounts to a pretty hefty sum of money.
Hopefully this expenditure will produce the desired results.
On another note, it seems that Trudeau’s election promise to legalize marijuana is not going to fly because of all the agreements we have with other trading Countries. Seems we signed all these agreements agreeing to the criminalizing of Mary Jo. and there is no quick way we can get out of them. At best it will take years, so don’t hold your breath waiting. PS. These agreements were not signed by the Harper Government.
This is just one more of what is becoming a long list of Trudeau promises during the election that they cannot keep.
Palopu, I don’t believe your point of Marijuana is correct. It’s already legal in Washington and Colorado. USA is part of the TPP.
We’re not forcing countries to accept our marijuana haha.

So the Liberal govn’t is the first to have a census? haha
pgjohn – it is technically illegal in the U.S.. The US federal law enforcement will charge you in Washington State if you are found in possession. What’s happening down there, is the State is saying it’s legal – and the State didn’t sign the treaty, and the State is refusing to enforce federal law, and the federal law enforcement is turning a blind eye. So they are in technical compliance with the treaties because federally it’s illegal.
And whatever you do, don’t drive from Nevada to Utah with a joint in your car. A Utah State trooper will definitely arrest you.
If we weren’t saddled with RCMP, B.C. could do it without federal consent just by directing municipal police forces not to enforce the federal law.
I’m not sure that it is a huge problem to withdraw from the provisions of those treaties with respect to marijuana. There are a number of substances whose legal status varies from country to country. When this is recognized when a treaty is being negotiated, some countries subscribe to the treaty with reservations. Making such changes after a treaty is in force is more difficult, but not impossible.
