 | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and
parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please
undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
This template is used to provide an easy mechanism by which to cite Statistics Canada online documents for census data.
Note: Support for the 2021 (census subdivisions ONLY) and 2016 census has been added.
Usage

}}
{{SCref |year= |unit= |type= |code= |code2= |titlename= |name=}}
Parameters
The following parameters will be used to build the reference.
- code
- This is Statistics Canada's code that uniquely identifies each geographical or statistical entity for which we want to consult census data. This can be obtained in various ways, for instance by looking at the value of
Code1=orGC=in the URL of the corresponding Statistics Canada web page, or from the "How to Cite" information listed at the bottom of each document (see examples in Sample usage section).
- year
- The year of the census. The default value is 2011. Valid years are 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016; however, not all types of data are available from Statistics Canada for some years.
- type
- The type of source for the data. The default value is prof for profile. Valid entries are:
- prof
- for Census Profiles (for valid years, see below under unit)
- fog
- for Focus on Geography outlines (2011 only, and only for unit = PR, CMA or CSD
- prof
- unit
- The type of unit for which the reference is being created. Valid entries for type=prof (profile) are:
- pr or PR for a province or territory (2001, 2006, 2011)
- cma or CMA for a census metropolitan area or census agglomeration (2001, 2006, 2011)
- cd or CD for a census division (2001, 2006, 2011)
- csd or CSD for a census subdivision (2001, 2006, 2011)
- popc or POPC for population centres (2011 only); requires code2 to be set (use the code for the respective province)
- er or ER for an economic region (2011 only)
- use this if year=2011 and code is one of the 17 administrative regions of Quebec (note: 2011 code values differ from 2006's)
- hr or HR for a health region (2001, 2006 only)
- use this if year=2006 and code is one of the 17 administrative regions of Quebec (note: 2006 code values differ from 2011's)
- fed or FED for a federal electoral district (2011 only)
- dpl or DPL for a designated place (2011 only)
Optional parameters
- code2
- Normally, you should not need to specify this. Use only if you know what you're doing.
- The Statistics Canada code for the containing unit or province (given as
Code2in the URL. The codes are:- two digits for a province, such as " 35" for Ontario
- If unspecified, the defaults are:
- the first two digits of code, if unit is other than "cma", "pr", "popc"
- the value 01 (Canada), if unit is "cma", "pr", "popc"
- If specified, you should set it to the corresponding province, eg, for Toronto CMA, code=535 and code2 can be set to 35 for Ontario)
- titlename
- Specify the title in the reference. Default is the page name.
- name
- Specify the name of the reference. This is useful when using the reference as a citation for multiple statements.
Sample usage
The number of digits for the specified code depends on the unit it represents.
If it is two digits, it stands for a province or territory, or for Canada itself. The codes are:
- 01 Canada
- 10 Newfoundland and Labrador
- 11 Prince Edward Island
- 12 Nova Scotia
- 13 New Brunswick
- 24 Quebec
- 35 Ontario
- 46 Manitoba
- 47 Saskatchewan
- 48 Alberta
- 59 British Columbia
- 60 Yukon
- 61 Northwest Territories
- 62 Nunavut
Prof
These examples are for type=prof (Census Profiles). Because this is the default type, the type parameter is omitted here.
This can be used for provinces, territories, or for Canada itself.
