In Kapuskasing, Statistics Canada is recruiting residents for the 2026 Census, offering entry-level enumerator roles, supervisory crew leader posts and managerial positions. Recruitment began in June 2025 and is rolling out in multiple waves through March 2026, with some administrative and management jobs starting as early as September 2025 and fieldwork in northern areas, including Kapuskasing, kicking off in February 2026.
For those hired in select northern and remote communities, pay is $35.79 per hour for enumerators and $37.79 per hour for crew leaders, plus authorized expenses. (Standard rates elsewhere are $25.87 per hour for enumerators and $31.32 per hour for crew leaders.) Applicants can expect schedules tied to weather and travel conditions in northern areas. Fieldwork will rely primarily on in-person, door-to-door collection—particularly for follow-up of non-responding households—while the Census also uses other collection modes (online and mail) where applicable. Supervisory roles oversee teams of local enumerators gathering household and agricultural data.
Residents can apply online at the GCJobs website or the Census job portal. For application help, Employment Options Kapuskasing at Collège Boréal (3 Aurora Avenue, Kapuskasing, ON P5N 1J6) offers free computer access and guidance. Their office is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and can be reached at 705-337-6679.
The 2026 Census hiring push aims to use local knowledge to ensure accurate population and agricultural counts, which influence federal funding and representation. Kapuskasing residents interested in seasonal or supervisory work are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to fill urgent staffing needs.
