Your census record is kept secure for years and only then can it be seen by future generations. The ONS will hold and control data securely for years, and will keep a data set of responses for the National Archives. The census website says: "Any personal data that we do not need, such as names and addresses, will be removed from the data set at the earliest opportunity.
All census questions serve important data needs and are approved by the federal cabinet. Your answers are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act and are kept strictly confidential. Only Statistics Canada employees with a need to know and whose job requires them to work with the questionnaires see completed questionnaires—and they all are subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act.
All Statistics Canada employees take an oath of secrecy, which is in effect for life—even after employment has ended. Statistics Canada places the highest priority on maintaining the confidentiality and security of completed questionnaires. Stringent measures and procedures are followed to ensure that confidentiality is maintained at all times. Any possible breach of the confidentiality of census questionnaires is a serious matter that is investigated immediately and thoroughly and is subject to the full force of the Statistics Act.
Statistics Canada requires that census workers have an enhanced reliability clearance. Census employees authorize Statistics Canada to conduct security checks, which include criminal record name checks completed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
All Statistics Canada employees must take an oath of secrecy never to reveal to unauthorized persons any information collected in confidence by Statistics Canada, as required under the Statistics Act. This oath remains in effect for life—even after employment has ended.
