Non-institutional residents are persons who do not reside in an 'institutional' collective dwelling, other than staff members and their families.

On some Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the 2006 Census, enumeration was not permitted or was interrupted before it could be completed. Moreover, for some Indian reserves and Indian settlements, the quality of the enumeration was considered inadequate. These geographic areas (a total of 22) are called incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and Indian settlements. Data for 2006 are therefore not available for the incompletely enumerated reserves and settlements and are not included in tabulations.
A list of incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and Indian settlements has been compiled.
