Today, the 2021 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC) data are available upon request for the first time. The 2021 CanCHEC links the 2021 Census of Population long-form sample to the Canadian Vital Statistics – Death database (May 11, 2021, to December 31, 2022) and to the annual postal codes for mailing addresses (1981 to 2022). These data can be used to examine mortality by demographic, social and economic characteristics, such as age, education, geographic areas, housing, immigration and ethnocultural diversity, income, as well as by new census content to address emerging trends and issues (sex at birth and gender, Canadian military experience, etc.).
