• A Post-censal survey is "a survey that uses a census question to identify the target population. It is usually conducted shortly after a census, with census staff and field infrastructure being used to select the sample and collect the data. Census data are used to augment the data collected on the post-censal survey questionnaire." (Statistics Canada.)
