N. B: Identify as a resident absent from the household (RA), fishermen at sea, the navigating crew of airlines or maritime companies, and as RP [resident present] domestic servants who spend the night in the household. Persons travelling for a period of less than 6 months will be identified as RA; beyond 6 months, they will not be counted at all and therefore will not have to be recorded on the household questionnaire. Polygamists with no fixed residence are counted as residents (RA or RP) with the first wife, and as a visitor (Vis) if they spent the night with one of the other wives.
[p. 37]
All students living in boarding schools or attending elsewhere and having spent the night before your visit in the household must be counted as visitors.
Persons working at night have the status of resident present if they spent the night prior to the census fieldworker's visit in their place of duty.
