they called today to update my reference when i did so a month ago...i asked when i should expect to hear back they said it won't be her personally but sometime in the next two weeks before training starts. I expected better coordination from a government employment...even if it's seasonal.

They hire on a "as-needed" basis that is based on the contingency of prior interviewees...so naturally it is a bit of a laggy process considering the amount of candidates they need to filter through, select, and verify whether or not they are still interested in a job and whether or not they get fired/flake mid-way.
There are a few new things Census Canada is doing this year, so some processes are ad-hoc and need adjustments as things proceed.

Just had phone interview today. Went well but I don't have extensive work experience so it was somewhat difficult to answer the interview questions because I don't have many examples I can use. Got a east indian woman with a heavy accent, hard to understand but I could still make out what she asked most of the times.

Training is paid for. They'll also pay for the time it takes for you to get to and from training as well as your bus fare or parking.

Bunk. Went through everything, test, interview, reference's got called... and then that was it.
Phoned the interviewer back she said all paperwork has gone to Census office and not sure what happened after that, so she has nothing to do anymore with it. My papers were just tossed around from person to person -_-.
Also, I heard that they hire on a as-needed basis for neighbourhoods, sooo.... yea.
