Eager Canadians crash system

It seems Canadians, eager to do their homework, crashed the Census system on Monday night.
Regional Assistant Director for the 2016 Census is Kwong Wong….

Wong says it was refreshing to see so many Canadians enthusiastic to complete their census on-line.
He says officials are hoping to see about 65 per cent of the census’ done on-line and expect the rest will likely be submitted on paper or during follow up phone calls or visits.
Wong says completing the census will take between 3 minutes and half an hour depending upon whether or not it’s the ten question short form or the long form.
