Statistics in Canada

11111

Statistics Canada. As in, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT of Canada. If someone is calling from this number to do a survey, it's legitimate. If they get you to call this number and do a survey, it's legitimate.

i recieved a call about 5 months ago and answered all there questions as well as all the other members of the household and after  i did they said this survey will continue for 6 months and each month they would call and ask the same questions as before . this is now the fifth month and they are still calling ,they call 5 and 6 times a day even up to as late as 10 pm .I just andwered it again and told them i am no longer participating in this harssement any longer ...WE HAVE RIGHTS AS CANADIAN CITZENS. statscan already has the damn information from the first call why bug the [***] out of people every month for six damn months.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they have been calling me 3 times a week. i never have time. they said it is MANDATORY??? wtf... i dont wanna do it and they say I have to. I DONT HAVE TO DO THIS [***] - ITS MY RIGHT!

They somehow got my cell phone number but I didn't give it to them.  I'm not that stupid.  I think this DNCL is hooey because they still call cause they're [***] stupid

What makes you think the scammers, thieves, fraudsters and extortionist even uses a DNC list?  DNC only works for honest business's on the bottom line.

annoying call as I'm working

The number is constantly coming up on my cell...long distance charges will apply so I won't answer, but darn, they kept at it day after day....Don't they get the message already??  

If its a survey , why call the cell phone?  My home phone is listed in the phone book and I have not put my cell number on any statistics done in the past. Where did they get my cell phone number from? hhmm

This is scam!  Be careful!

This is scam!  Be careful!

This is definitely a real Statistics Canada number, it appears on their website. Just do the darn survey.

Their website says it's not mandatory.  They lied to you!

I refuse to complete it.  Never have I lost faith in a government as much as this one.  Muzzling federal scientists, neutering elections Canada, robocalls, gerrymandering...I've lost faith.  I may still call if I can see the questions first and try to understand if they're later going to say "we did surveys and now we are going to cut this health program or that environmental initiative".  No offense to the agents there but save a few million dollars, make it an online survey, fund some real research and stop hiding the truth our scientists are trying to say about our environment to justify corporate greed.

Called several time in the past week, they left message to call back with a reference number. I am not sure what it is but most likely a survey.

called on Sunday, at 4:51 pm, left voice mail, could not make out name of caller. How did they get this number and my name, as phone is not listed to me?

Called on a Sunday, started off asking for the address used in the filing of my household census. My census filing was *not* filed under this number. When asked which address they had on file, she said she couldn't give that info. When asking her who she thought she was calling, she said she couldn't give that info.  Sorry, no. Not giving info to anyone who can't verify who they are.

Numbers can be easily spoofed. Don't take this for granted.

Same here! Sunday afternoon at 4.34 p.m I get a call on my cell which isn't registered to my name, sent it to vm. I don't answer unknown numbers, 800 numbers or 700 #s for that matter...this lady bugging me to call so and so back from statscan. Um no thanks. This is a private line and not meant for the government to start harassing me for information they already have.
