Question 10 provides the citizenship status of Canada's population. The information is used to plan citizenship classes and programs.

Questions 11 and 12 provide information about immigrants and non-permanent residents in Canada, and the year people immigrated. This information is used to compare the situation of immigrants over time, to evaluate immigration and employment policies and programs, and to plan education, health, and other services.

Questions 13 to 16 are used to provide a profile of the linguistic diversity of Canada's population. This information is used to estimate the need for services in English and French, and to better understand the current status and the evolution of Canada's various language groups.

Questions 18, 20 and 21 provide information used by governments, including Aboriginal governments and organizations, to develop programs and services for Aboriginal people.

Question 19 tells us about the visible minority population in Canada. This information is required for programs under the "Employment Equity Act", which promote equal opportunity for everyone.

Question 22 helps measure religious affiliation and diversity. It is used to trace change in Canada's society. The information is also used to plan facilities and services within diverse communities.

Question 16 -- First language learned at home in childhood and still understood
For a person who learned two languages at the same time in early childhood, report the language this person spoke most often at home before starting school. Report two languages only if both languages were used equally often and are still understood by this person.

Question 7: Dialect or language

For the purposes of this section, you should ask the enumerated if he or she habitually speaks an indigenous dialect in the household, making the notation in the corresponding small box.

[p. 40]

With this question, we want to find out if the habitual form of communication among the members of the census household is through an indigenous language. Therefore, if the members of the census household know an indigenous language, but among themselves they have the habit of communicating in Spanish, the answer that should be given is no. In other words, we do not want to know if they know how to speak an indigenous language, but we want to know if in the case that they know one, if they use it to communicate among themselves.
