Statistics Canada exempt from Do Not Call List

Statistics Canada wishes to notify clients and survey respondents that it is among those organizations that are exempt from the National Do Not Call List (DNCL).

The National DNCL was launched recently by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to limit telemarketing calls.  

As a result, individuals who register their telephone numbers with the National DNCL will continue to receive calls from Statistics Canada if they are part of a survey.

Statistics Canada is mandated by the Statistics Act to conduct surveys to provide Canadians with accurate information on our society, economy and people. 

Canada owes the success of its statistical system to a long-standing partnership between the national statistical agency and the citizens of Canada, its businesses, governments and other institutions. Accurate and timely statistical information could not be produced without this continued cooperation and goodwill.

To find out more about responding to Statistics Canada’s surveys, consult the “Information for survey participants” section of the Agency’s website at www.statcan.gc.ca.
