1996. Characteristics of English, French or English and French Language Groups (First Official Language Spoken) by Sex, for Canada, Provinces, Territories, Census Divisions and Census Subdivisions

The profile of official language groups gives a statistical overview of official language groups in Canada for certain geographic areas. The geographic areas include Canada, provinces and territories, census divisions (CDs) and subdivisions (CSDs). For each of these geographic areas, the profile gives counts of official language populations for characteristics such as home language, knowledge of languages, marital status, ethnic origin, place of birth, period of immigration, mobility status, citizenship, highest level of schooling, labour force activity, occupation, industry and income distribution. It is based on data collected from a 20% sample of households at the time of the 1996 Census.
