Question 35: Last date of work

Information on the last period of work is used to identify persons with recent job experience. This information can be combined with other data such as industry and occupation to provide a profile of Canada's labour supply.
For this question, only include work done in order to obtain compensation, that is, work for wages, salaries, tips, commissions, piece-rate payment, payment in kind or the net income from self-employment. Also include work done, without formal pay arrangements, by family members for family businesses, farms or professional practices. Do not include volunteer activities, housework, or other activities such as home maintenance that people do for themselves.
