It is now possible to consult the study titled "Non-Permanent Residents Missed in the 2021 Census" in the Demographic Documents series. This article examines the missed rates for non-permanent residents (NPRs) using data from the Census Undercoverage Study and administrative data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. The study finds that the NPR missed rate in the 2021 Census decreased compared with the previous census and that certain characteristics of NPRs are correlated with being missed.
