Population Count: Census Counts, Population Estimates, and Population Projections The Institut de la statistique du Qubec publishes census

counts, population estimates, and population projections, some of which are produced by the Institut and others in collaboration with Statistics Canada, or even by that agency alone. The source of the figures is provided in our tables. Like all other statistics, census counts involve an area of uncertainty, which varies according to the information source, the completeness of the coverage, and the relevance of the indicators chosen to carry out the evaluations. Figures may differ depending on the source and may be revised as indicators are updated. The Census The population census is a survey of all Canadian households conducted every five years towards mid-May. It is a very detailed source of information which furnishes a wealth of comparable information on the country, the provinces, and communities, and provides territorial divisions tailored to user needs. It provides information at a single point in time on the demographic, social and economic conditions of the population. Although an excellent source of information, the Census somewhat underestimates population size and none of the figures are corrected. In 2006, the net under-enumeration was in the order of 1% for Qubec and 3% for all of Canada. It varies depending on population and household characteristics. It was greater in the case of 20-34 year olds and slightly higher for men than women. On its website, Statistics Canada gives several reasons why there is an under-enumeration (undercoverage) in population censuses: "The objective of a census is to provide detailed information at a single point in time on the demographic, social and economic conditions of the population. In this respect, one of its goals is to enumerate the entire population. Inevitably, however, some people are not counted, either because their household did not receive a census questionnaire (for example, if a structurally separate dwelling is not easily identifiable) or because they were not included in the questionnaire completed for the household (for example, the omission of a boarder or a lodger). Some people may also be missed because they have no usual residence and did not spend census night in any dwelling. In contrast, a small number of people may also be counted more than once (for example, a student living away from home may have been enumerated by his parents and by himself at his student address). To determine how many individuals were missed or counted more than once, Statistics Canada conducts postcensal coverage studies of a representative sample of individuals. Results of these studies in combination with the census counts are used to produce current population estimates which take into account net undercoverage."

Population Estimates Users should note that the most recent or accurate population count are the population estimates, which are produced and improved at least once a year. The first estimates, referred to as "postcensal", start with the most recent census count, its correction by several percentage points in order to take into account the net underenumeration and an adjustment to base the figures on July 1 of the year in question. These postcensal estimates then annually incorporate the recent count of demographic events such as births, deaths, and migratory movements. This count of events is progressive: first based on preliminary data, 12 months later on revised data, and another 12 months later on more final data. This explains the annual improvement of counts for the same July 1. As soon as the corrected results of a second census are available, a general revision of all the preceding data is carried out, and the counts are redone. Estimates called "intercensal" are then produced, ensuring coherence between the five years lapsed between the two censuses and the new postcensal estimates of the next cycle. Population estimates are usually detailed by age and sex and and established each July 1st by province and by several regional divisions. In Qubec, they are available by census division, regional county municipality, census metropolitan area, and municipality. Population Projections Population projections or forecasts are simulations of the future. Those of the Institut de la statistique du Qubec are based on a proven calculation model and a set of assumptions on the evolution of the components of demographic change: fertility, mortality, external migration, and internal migration. A main scenario and reference Scenario A indicate the general trend. Secondary scenarios use other assumptions which suggest a range of possibilities sometimes quite plausible and sometimes more theoretical. Since the elaboration of population projections require a great deal of preparation, they are generally produced every five years but may be updated more frequently if an important event so justifies. Les Perspectives dmographiques du Qubec et des rgions, 2006-2056, dition 2009 were produced at the start of 2009. The base population is a preliminary postcensal estimate which takes into account the results and correction of the 2001 Census. These figures vary slightly from the most recent populations estimates, which have been revised in september 2009. The difference is negligible and does not throw the trends presented in the forecasts into question.
