      The usual residence of students is that of their parents, if they return to live with their parents during the year even if they live elsewhere while attending school or working at a summer job.

      From Stats Canada.

      Students are usual residents of Canada, they’re not usual residents of the place they stay in while studying in school.

        Students and workers from other countries with study and work permits are considered usual residents, according to StatsCan.

        Directly quoted from the source I posted.

          That’s why I clarified how you misinterpreted that sentence, and gave you a source from Stats Canada. I also worked the last census in KW, where there’s a large student population, so it was drilled into our heads students only count if they live in that house year round (and preferable changed the address on their ID).
