Statistics Canada announced is filling 35,000 jobs across the country to work on the 2011 census collection starting in May.
Staff are required for a variety of supervisory and non-supervisory jobs between March and mid-August 2011. These non-office jobs require work in neighbourhoods and communities across the country. Screening of applications began last month.
The rates of pay range from $14.72 to $18.04 an hour, plus authorized expenses.
About 5,000 crew leaders and assistants and around 30,000 census enumerators will be hired. Crew leaders train, lead and supervise a team of enumerators. Enumerators distribute census questionnaires, conduct personal interviews and do follow-up interviews by phone.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old, eligible to work in Canada, and able to commit at least 20 hours a week, including days, evenings, weekends and holidays, as required. They will need a driver's licence and access to a vehicle in some areas. Candidates should be computer literate and have a home computer with access to the internet.
