2006 Census of Population [Canada] Public Use Microdata File (PUMF): Individuals File (version 2)

These records were drawn from a sample of one-fifth of the Canadian population (sample data from questionnaire 2B). The 2006 PUMF includes 123 variables.

Of these, 102 variables, or 83%, come from the individual universe and 21 variables, or 17%, are drawn from the family, household and dwelling universes. The file does not include people living in institutions. Since the 1971 Census, Statistics Canada has traditionally produced three public use microdata files: the Individual File, the Family File and the Household and Dwelling File.
