Purpose
Following each census since the 1961 Census, the Reverse Record Check (RRC) has been carried out to measure census population undercoverage. For the 2021 Census cycle, the RRC has been renamed the Census Undercoverage Survey (CUS). The CUS estimates the number of persons missed in the census.

Provinces and territories use these funds to help finance many social programs including health care, employment and training, education, public transportation and housing. The information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.
