Notes
  1. The "illustrative census subdivision" field helps to illustrate the geographic placement of the census division, especially when it has a cryptic numerical name ("Division 3"). This will often, but not necessarily, be the most populous subdivision (city, town, etc). Subdivisions of a census division are listed in the "Hierarchy" tab of each census profile, for instance:
  2. For statistical purposes, larger cities in Quebec are considered as "territory equivalent to a regional county municipality".
  3. There was an adjustment involving Peel Regional Municipality, Ontario and Halton Regional Municipality, Ontario with a population gain/loss of 50.
  4. The census division whose exact name is simply "Québec" corresponds almost exactly to the urban agglomeration of Quebec City, except it also contains the tiny (in area) parish municipality of Notre-Dame-des-Anges (population 394) and the Indian reserve of Wendake, Quebec (whose last available population was 1,555 in the 2001 census)
  5. There was an adjustment involving Deux-Montagnes Regional County Municipality, Quebec and Thérèse-De Blainville Regional County Municipality, Quebec with a population gain/loss of 15.
  6. There was an adjustment involving Joliette Regional County Municipality, Quebec and L'Assomption Regional County Municipality, Quebec with a population gain/loss of 15.
  7. There was an adjustment involving Northumberland County, New Brunswick and York County, New Brunswick with a population gain/loss of 846.
  8. On January 1, 2010, the city of Bromont, Quebec was moved from La Haute-Yamaska Regional County Municipality to Brome-Missisquoi Regional County Municipality, with a population gain/loss of 6,049.
  9. Lajemmerais Regional County Municipality changed its name to Marguerite-D'Youville Regional County Municipality as of February 12, 2011; however, Statistics Canada retained the name "Lajemmerais" for the 2011 census because its geographical reference date was January 1, 2011. The new name will be used in the 2016 census.[3]
  10. On February 15, 2008, the Comox-Strathcona Regional District of British Columbia was abolished and replaced by the Comox Valley Regional District and the Strathcona Regional District.
  11. There was an adjustment involving Kitimat-Stikine and Stikine Regional District, British Columbia with a population gain/loss of 477.
  12. There was an adjustment involving Sudbury District and Manitoulin District, Ontario with a population gain/loss of 459.
  13. The Northwest Territories census divisions of Fort Smith and Inuvik Region were replaced by Region 1, Region 2, Region 3, Region 4, Region 5, Region 6.
