Interviewer instructions

We want to measure actual movements of population within Canada, not changes in address due only to municipality boundary changes (or name changes). Therefore, consider your residence 5 years ago in terms of present municipality boundaries.

27.
If you came to this country from abroad, do not include your arrival in Canada as a "move", but count each later move within Canada since June 1, 1966.
Students who have left their home base temporarily to attend university or to take summer employment, should not count these as moves.
