The tables below list Canada's 111 census agglomerations, as delineated by Statistics Canada, as of the 2006 census.

[edit] 2006 changes

Statistics Canada announced that, for the 2006 Census, the following changes would be made to the list [1]. Populations figures from the 2006 census have been added below to reflect these changes. Please note that numerous Census Areas underwent boundary changes from 2001 to 2006. The population and area figures for the 2001 Census have been adjusted to reflect these changes [2].

Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador
Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador
Magog, Quebec (merged with Sherbrooke CMA)

[edit] 2011 preliminary changes

Statistics Canada's preliminary delineation of CMAs and CAs for the 2011 census has resulted in the addition of five new CAs and the retirement of two existing CAs.^[1] It did not result in the promotion of any CAs to a CMA.^[1] Statistics Canada has scheduled the release of its final delineation of CMAs and CAs for the 2011 census in the fall of 2011.^[2]
